KAVROCHORI (Village) GAZI
The contribution of Kavrochori's Cultural Association is deemed to be significant. It was established in 1995 and since then has organized three (3) pan-Cretan competitions of traditional Cretan cuisine for physically challenged people. It is organized on the first fortnight of July, on Saturday, early in the afternoon until the first early hours. The contestants cook in front of the public in properly equipped spaces at the village's square. For example we could mention some traditional delicacies like: groats with snails, pork with leek and amathia (type species: Sertularia lendigera Linnaeus, 1761) etc.
During that night, supplemental festivals are being hosted like book fairs regarding Cretan cuisine, painting exhibitions and herb display of plants that thrive in Crete like sage, oregano etc. After the end of the competition the Union has taken provisions for entertaining the guests with folk Cretan bands in properly modified places.
