Music at the Source in Meronas
Village in the Amari valley under Psiloritis, known for its Cretan music tradition.
Why here
An Amari valley village that runs an annual Cretan music workshop with named lyra and laouto teachers, aimed at people who want to learn the tradition rather than watch it.
Best months
Runs one week in early August every year. The 16th edition was 2 to 7 August 2026. Book well ahead; this is a village-run workshop, not a tourist product.
