Back to newsThe 20th Messara Agricultural Exhibition is open to the public this weekend, with sessions available both in the morning and afternoon. The Messara plain, located in the south-central part of Crete, is the island's most fertile agricultural region and a key area for olive oil, wine grapes, and greenhouse produce. This annual exhibition showcases local farming traditions, regional products, and agricultural innovation. Visitors staying in or passing through the Heraklion or Rethymno areas can make a detour to attend, as the Messara valley is roughly 45 minutes south of Heraklion. The event offers a genuine look at Cretan rural life and a chance to sample or purchase local produce directly from farmers. Check local listings for exact venue address and opening hours before visiting.
