The "KOURITES"

Folklore Society

For 35 years, we have been present in all cultural and religious events taking place in our land. For 35 years, we have been giving prominence and spreading Cretan dances, our traditional music, and traditional arts that tend to disappear over time. Always with love and respect.

«Στα ζάλα του χορού θωρώ
την αρχοντιά τ ’ανθρώπου,
και στσι μορφές των Κουρητών
την ομορφιά του τόπου…»
