Crete · CRETAN NIGHT SHOWS
Lyra, lamb, plate smashing and more raki than anybody planned on. These 10 evenings are compared on where they are held, whether transfers from the resorts are included and how much of the dinner is actually included in the price.
Village dinner in Karouzanos with live Cretan dance and music, local wine, and a scenic mountain drive from Heraklion, 6 hours.
“An absolutely amazing time, and great way to meet people as a solo traveller”
Cretan buffet, beer and wine tasting, and plate smashing with a dance lesson in Kissamos. 15.3 m table, 4 hours.
“Yesterday was such a beautiful, special night! First we started with a local beer/wine tasting. This was very interesting. After the beer tasting there was a huge buffet with local food. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Unfortunately my belly was full after 4 plates, if it was possible I would ate 10 plates. After the delicious food, we started to dance. Two lovely girls learned us how to dance a local dance. It was so much fun! During the dance we threw some plates on the ground. For me it was very hard to find an experience like this, but I’m very happy that I found it here at The Greek Cook…”

Cretan folklore night in Karouzana near Heraklion with buffet dinner, local wine, Cretan Lyra music, folk dancing, plus pickup.
“The evening was very enjoyable. Loved hearing the music and seeing the dances from different areas of Greece. Food and wine were delicious and plentiful. Downside to the event was how long it took to get there. My ride was a total of 2.5 hours. I was solo. So with others I'm assuming it would not have felt so long.”

Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
