On Easter Sunday a gastronomic marathon takes place...
A gastronomic
marathon for “tough” competitors and food-party animals brings the
40-day period of fasting to an end. It all starts when people return
home from the midnight Resurrection Mass and have the traditional “mayirítsa”,
a delicious lemon meat soup made with lamb offal and flavoured with
fresh lettuce and dill. Spiced bread, fresh cheese and traditional
boiled red eggs complete the event. The eggs are used for a special game
this time of year. One player hits the bottom of the other player’s egg
with the top of his own. Whichever egg loses, i.e. gets broken, is
eaten.
When Greeks talk about Easter they are referring to the whole holiday period, but it is on the actual day of Easter (Easter Sunday) that the partying takes place. At the crack of dawn a lamb or a goat, the superstar of the Easter meal, begins to roast on the barbecues of Greece, some of which are improvised affairs constructed over holes dug in the ground.
In Central Greece they opt for lamb, whereas on the islands they prefer goat stuffed with spices,
rice and chopped entrails. Some skill is required to cook some of the
dishes and it is usually the experienced ones who will prepare the “kokorétsi”, a dish made with lamb’s entrails wrapped around a spit with its bowel, and the “spleenántero”,
i.e. lamb’s bowel stuffed with its spleen. While the meat is cooking,
housewives take fresh, unsalted cheese out of its cheesecloth and
everyone starts nibbling away at finger food, salads and appetisers,
such as the famous Greek dish “tzatziki”.
Now is the time for all the neighbours to prove themselves as accomplished amateur winemakers. Remember that “retsina”, although widely consumed in Greece, is not generally regarded as a particularly classy wine. But there is more to come to make your mouth water and give your eyes a feast when dessert is served: Easter plaited cookies and “tsouréki”, a kind of brioche with a red egg in the middle, are sure to enchant everybody with their sweet aroma. Delicious honey pies made of honey, eggs and mizithra cheese (a traditional, unpasteurized fresh cheese), and sweet cheese tartlets round off the gastronomic orgy.
Join us for music at full blast, folk dancing, red-egg games and an unforgettable food experience!

We invite you to enjoy peaceful horse and pony riding amongst the small hills and olive groves as well as the beautiful beaches of Plakias, in the south coast of Crete for unforgettable riding holidays!!
The stables are located in Damnoni, Plakias in an six-hectare area, just 30 Km (25 min driving time) away from the city of Rethimnon, Crete.
RIDING TOURS
All the riding tours on the beaches of Plakias, the olive groves, or the
surrounding mountains are amazing and very picturesque. The scenery with
it's beautiful flora and fauna is very enjoyable to take at an easy pace, but
also suitable for active riding.

Plakias: A paradise You Mustn’t Keep Waiting….
For some strange reason, up until recently Plakias had not enjoyed the wide
tourist turnout that other travel destinations in Southwest of Crete, like big cities.
It was a hidden secret for a select group of initiated
travelers who would come to enjoy nature’s
majestic beauty and the locals’ genuine
hospitality far from the crowds of noisy tourists.
But the
secret got out……..
And now it’s time that the rest of us discover the
untamed beauty of Plakias!!

Since 1914 beautiful Renaissance Rethymnon has been celebrating the
carnival with its many humoristic events. A carnival of another era
leaving behind its nostalgic aroma of romantic balls and the Rethymnians
through laughter and their comical antics paying their tribute to "His
Excellence, The King of the Carnival."The Treasure Hunt, an old custom dating back to when the Carnival of Rethymno began about a century ago, was the reason for the creation of 'teams' in 1990, which would give birth once again to this age-old tradition.
In 1993, the Municipality of Rethymnon decided to help fund this popular event and requested the teams to take on the challenging task of creating and organising the Carnival of Rethymnon, which has become the most popular and famous Carnival of Crete!!!!
(The city is collaborating with several travel agencies of the municipality in order to offer good, cheap travel packages throughout the tourist season of the Carnival)
