Back to newsThe 20th Agricultural Exhibition of Messara takes place in Vori, a village in the Messara Plain of southern Crete, from July 9 to 12. This annual agricultural fair celebrates the rich farming heritage of one of Crete's most fertile regions, known for its olive groves, vineyards, and traditional produce. Visitors can expect displays of local agricultural products, livestock, farming equipment, and regional food specialties. The event typically draws local producers, craftspeople, and cultural performers, offering a genuine look at rural Cretan life beyond the coastal resorts. Vori is also home to the well-regarded Museum of Cretan Ethnology, making it worth combining both into a day trip. The village is located roughly 45 kilometers southwest of Heraklion, accessible by car via the E75 highway toward Mires.
