Rethymno has a charm of its own: a canvas where city life, nature, and culture don’t simply coexist, but blend together like a good glass of raki – it burns, it warms, it intoxicates, and always leaves you wanting more.
In this episode:
- Anastasia Natsina, Professor and Chair of the Department of Philology at the University of Crete, speaks about the University’s imprint on the island.
- Charalampos Xylouris, nephew of the legendary lyra player Nikos Xylouris, talks about the “Nikos Xylouris House” and how the family home is being turned into a museum for the beloved musician.
- Manos Tsakonas, Deputy Mayor for Culture, shares the story of the Rethymno Carnival and guides us through the cultural heartbeat of the city.
