Manolis Mitsias Concert and Mikis Theodorakis Tribute Boost Greek Music

On August 1, 2026, celebrated Greek singer Manolis Mitsias performed alongside Vicky Karatzoglou at Porto Carras Grand Resort in New Marmaras, Sithonia. The concert, part of the municipality’s "Faces of Culture" program, featured iconic songs by top poets and composers. Tickets were sold for €15 in advance and €20 at the door.

A week earlier, on July 29, 2026, a modern musical‑narrative homage to composer Mikis Theodorakis titled "Λαχτάρησα μια χώρα – Ο Μίκης… αλλιώς" was presented at the Eastern Taphros Theatre in Chania. The free‑entry show combined re‑orchestrated versions of Theodorakis’s works with spoken excerpts, performed by singers Erofili and Leonidas Maridakis and a supporting ensemble. The production was organized by the Region of Crete, the Municipality of Chania, and cultural associations.

Both events highlight the vibrant contemporary Greek music scene and the ongoing celebration of the country’s musical heritage.
