Carnival customs, Rethimno
Cantata singers with guitars, mandolin and old melodies. The masquerades will pass through the Great Door and dance in the streets of the "Little" and "Big" market, with the rhythms of the Philharmonic.
Carnival events culminate with the grand parade on the S. Venizelos Avenue, ending at the Unknown Soldier's Square, for a feast, dance and farewell to the carnival.
On Clean Monday in the villages of Merona and Melidonia, customs are revived, such as the bride's stealing, "Kantis", the smudge, which, combined with the good wine and the sounds of the Cretan lyre, are a unique experience.
