“Rethymno Days” is an attempt to create a cultural framework with the aim of meeting between emerging as well as established creators and artists, who either have their base in Crete or are active outside Crete, but also outside Greece.

The main axis and purpose of the “Rethymno Days” cultural meetings is the utilization of the cultural heritage both at the level of daily life management and as a development tool focusing on the monuments and the historical physiognomy of the city of Rethymno.

The basic form of planning these meetings includes the highlighting of the historical and natural monuments of our city based on cultural actions – in other words, the “use” of public space as a core of cultural and artistic action but also the highlighting of local monuments not simply as historical monuments but as places of modern creation and culture.

In this sense, the “Rethymno Days” cultural meetings are aiming to promote culture, contemporary creation and the history of the old city through art exhibitions, concerts, theatrical events, discussions and also through the interaction of the artists and public in the historical and public space.
