Music and dancing are a traditional part of the Cretan people's life. Kato Karouzanos traditional village, nestled in the rolling hills of central Crete is the setting for this fascinating, fun night out. A glass of raki (the illegal fire water distilled all over Crete) provides a warm start to your exciting evening. You will have time to wonder through the village, seeking out the locals, sharing a drink or two in a cafenion, lighting a candle in the Greek Orthodox Church or trying to find a bargain in the handicraft shop. Your evening meal is then taken in the local tavern, where you will be treated to a typical Cretan dinner, free-flowing wine. A performance of traditional Cretan and Greek dances in  colorful costumes, the fire dance and of course a very special performance of Sirtaki Dance, 'Zorbas the Greek'.
