Music is endless
Crete has an ancient musical history. Some songs go back millennia for ever repeated like the old poems. I took it upon myself to organise a small music festival in Vlatos after I discovered an acoustic gem in the form of a 150 year old church that was never used as such. Vlatos Jazz is running since 2018 an presented local and international talent to an audience of expats and local enthousiasts. This gallery is dedicated to music.
