Beschreibung

The summer months are the busiest in Greece with many events and festivals. Rethymno hosts the Renaissance festival in August and it is definitely worth a visit.
Every summer, and 2012 is no exception, this festival inspires locals and travelers with dance, music and colors of the past. The event is a promotion of both the Cretan and European Renaissance. Hundreds of artists from all over the world gather each year in Rethymno to participate in the festival with theatrical, music plus dance performances, and great exhibitions.
The 2012 event will be the 25th festival the town will host and the theme is not set yet. The previous years were respectively water, fire and earth. This year, as usual, a truly spectacular opening ceremony will amaze the public. Last year it was involving open-air music, theatre, dance and a costumed parade. The ceremony will start in late afternoon on the town beach and the parade then makes its way through the streets via the Loggia and Petichaki Square towards the New Square in the Old Town.
Like the renaissance, the festival is a tribute to arts in all its forms. It is scheduled to take place from August 25th until September 5th. The majority of the events take place at the Erofili Theatre. It is the ruins of the magnificent castle. Walk on the path, which is paved with cobblestone, uphill to the "Fortezza" to reach the centre of the action.
