This is a reminder that this weekend, on 23^rd, 24th and 25^th February, two major events are taking place at the Chania Exhibition Centre at Agia. In the words of the organisers:

“The 9^th Festival of Olive Oil and the Olive is the biggest exhibition in Greece devoted to olive oil and table olives. It should attract mass attendance by olive growers, consumers and oil mills, and all those interested in getting to know the excellent quality of Greek olive products. For the first time in Greece, the Festival will attract participants from more than 10 different countries who will present new technologies in olive production. Concurrently with the Festival, the 9th Scientific Congress for the Olive and Olive Oil will be held.”

“The Let’s Treat Greece Festival 2024 is a high point in the Cretan exhibition calendar. A must-see for everything to do with gastronomic tourism, which will show off its tastes, its aromas and the music which accompanies them. The Festival will include events which bring together the local economy, people and products, and present the locality’s history and traditions while aiming to show its modern face.”

Opening hours:
Friday 23rd February, 16:00-21:00
Saturday 24th February 10:00-21:00
Sunday 25th February, 10:00-21:00
