Olive trees on
Crete: After the harvest of
olives, the olive trees on Crete produce a lot of
blossom during the spring. In time, this blossom
will turn into olives. The branches of the olive
trees will be cut on the first day after the full
moon. It is very important to cut the olive trees,
otherwise the blossom will thicken and the olive
tree will not give so many olives. The harvest of
the olives is now done (2011-2012), only on some
places the farmers are still busy. The price of
olive oil is much higher compared to other years,
because the harvest of olives was not so good this
year. Hopefully, we will have next year an excellent
year to harvest olives on Crete. Most of the olive
trees have been cut; the olive trees can have a nice
rest until next year, when they will produce again
the delicious olive oil from Crete.

6th January 2011 music workshop winter
We enjoyed a week of music, an interesting winter music project
organized by Costas Nikolakakis! Paola Esposito, mandoliniste, and Giorgio
Ameglio, pianist, from Savona in Italy, came to Crete for this special mandolin
seminar. This winter music seminar started with a wonderful concert in Heraklion
in the Saint Marcos Church. The next day, our Italian friends hosted a workshop
on Zorbas Island, a combination of Greek and Italian music with mandolin and
piano! We will organize more music workshops and seminars including mandolin,
lira and Greek music during the winter months. If you like to know more about
playing mandolin, Greek & Cretan music and our music workshops, please send us
