During the summer, each Monday at 20:00 o’ clock, in the beautiful square of the village of Chersonissos, the restaurateurs organize a traditional Cretan night with live music and traditional dances. Musical instrument players, singers and dancers will show you the authentic traditional music of all parts of Crete and they will entertain you with their traditional musical instruments and traditional dances. It is a Cretan feast in which traditional dishes are available for everyone to taste and thus experience the Cretan cuisine.

In general, visitors can enjoy the famous traditional food, wine and “tsikoudia” offered in the traditional taverns of the village and have fun under the sounds of Cretan music, learn to dance and in combination with the Cretan hospitality, will be an unforgettable experience for those who will visit it.

A leading researcher of Greek origin, Dr Athena Aktipis is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University, director of the Interdisciplinary Cooperation Initiative and co-director of The Human Generosity Project. She studies cooperation across systems, from human sharing to multicellularity and cancer, and this evening will challenge us to question cooperation, and then explain why, although we try to work together, we simply can’t avoid conflict!
