Entertainment |

Crete is a little provincial, so do not expect the
same range of entertainment you would get in a city. Most of the
events are based in the cities. Elsewhere, the main entertainment
is provided by watching people do their "volta" - literally
the "turn". This consist of slowly walking up and down
the main street (or other area where people congregate) to see and
be seen.
Cinemas in Chania
Theatre and plays are
sometimes shown in Chania and other cities but exclusively in Greek
language
Music there are concerts,
especially in the summer, but the main place to listen to Cretan
music is at feast such as weddings, baptisms and village feasts.
Traditional Cretan entertainment is
almost always related to weddings or baptisms and will involve eating,
drinking, listening to traditional music and dancing for most of
the night. You can also see tourist versions of these feasts provided
by tour operators and which often go by the name of "Cretan
evening". I have never been to one so will refrain from commenting.
