Chestnut festivals in Greece

Overview

Various chestnut festivals are scheduled across Greece for late October. In the Kissamos Municipality, the Chestnut Festival 2026 will take place in Inachori from October 23 to 25, featuring sessions on pet welfare and chestnut blight alongside musical performances. In the Peloponnese, the village of Kastanitsa will host its traditional annual festival on the last weekend of October, highlighting local culinary traditions such as wild boar with chestnut.

In Agiasos, the festival is scheduled for October 30 to November 1. This event, which celebrates a product central to the economy and identity of the Thessaly region, has attracted international interest. Turkish travel agencies are offering organized tour packages to Lesvos specifically to attend the festival, as organizers seek to drive tourism outside of the traditional summer season through gastronomy and cultural heritage.
