The Cultural Association of Pitsidia- Matala was founded in 1982 with its base in Pitsidia, Heraklion, Crete.

 

The association’s aim is the development and positive use of the spiritual foundations and the enhancement of the village’s cultural and spiritual activities so as to achieve full cultural renaissance within the boundaries of democratic and cultural values.

 

For years the association has been creating various cultural activities such as concerts from artists from both Crete and the rest of Greece, entertaining plays for adults and youngsters alike, traditional celebrations, including the Feast of Raki with the age-old distillation process, as well as various Christmas and Halloween celebrations.

 

In addition, the association is proud of its beach volley tournament which began in 2005 and has been held every year since on the Matala beach with absolute success.

 

The aim of this site is to inform you about our association’s cultural activities and getting you acquainted with the beauty that is our home; a home that has been loved and is loved by thousands of people.
