The Art of Cretan Weaving

The women of PORFYRA bring a traditional Cretan loom to the open-air Amphiteátro, with the Gulf of Elounda below, along with photographs and film tracing the history of weaving on the island — a living craft, kept alive by this community.

Discover the history of Cretan weaving and its place in local tradition. Weave a small piece yourself, yours to take home as a memento. An authentic Cretan experience. An evening woven into memory.
