FODELE RUN Launches at Crete's Alternative Tourism Festival

Sunday, 10 May 2026/: CretaOne/1 
The Municipality of Malevizi is taking part in the 4th Alternative Tourism Festival, with the highlight being the FODELE RUN event held in and around the village of Fodele, located on the northern coast of Crete between Heraklion and Rethymno. The festival showcases the area's exceptional natural landscape and promotes outdoor and experiential tourism beyond the standard beach holiday. Visitors attending the festival can explore Fodele's surroundings through trail running and nature-based activities, while also discovering a village historically known as the birthplace of the painter El Greco. The event offers a practical opportunity for tourists seeking active, off-the-beaten-path experiences in Crete. Travelers staying in the Heraklion or Rethymno regions will find Fodele easily accessible by car, roughly 30 kilometers west of Heraklion city center.

This is a recipe, not news. I'd recommend the **food-culture note about Cretan mezze and dips** — it's more valuable for tourists visiting Crete and fits the Kairos audience better than a standalone recipe.
