Culture & Beyond!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The proclamation of the year 2018 as the year of European Cultural Heritage, coincided with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the 1st Art Symposium and was the trigger for the organization of the first blueFest Crete, aiming to bring culture and entertainment to the people of Crete and its visitors.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u03a4he inaugural blueFest Crete festival took place from 30 June to 2 July 2018, and was organised by the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation. Against the beautiful backdrop of Agios Nikolaos, one of the most picturesque seaside towns in Greece, it was realised with the auspices of the Region of Crete and the Municipality of Agios Antonios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision for the organisation of the festival is the revival of a tradition dating back to 1988, when the 1st Art Symposium took place, led by the Foundation’s love for the local community and the arts and the belief that tourism should be a holistic, cultural experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation chose to celebrate the European Year of Cultural Heritage with a manifold festival combining different cultural artistic activities (art, theater, music, and cinema), aiming at bridging the rich cultural heritage of Greece with new and also traditional forms of artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
