IRON TANGO CRETE
from 6 to 13 September 2025
.
We are looking forward to a week together on the beautiful island of Crete in an idyllic bay in the south of the island.
It is a small manageable bay without big hotels.
At Athanasia and Stelios at Voukelari the milongas and praktikas take place.
You stay at Voukelari – all rooms with terrace and mostly sea view.
Together we will have the breakfast – it is sooooooo delicious and rich with various pancakes, different Greek cheeses, olives, bread, egg dishes, Greek yogurt, the wonderful Greek tomatoes, at least 2 or 3 kinds of homemade jam, freshly squeezed orange juice, melon and other fruits, and and and…
After breakfast we start directly with tango practica and dancing.
In this week next to the common breakfast there will be obligatory also 2 common dinners in the Voukelari. You can look forward to at least 4-5 Greek warm or /and cold starters, at least 2-3 main courses and a dessert. Included is also the Greek house wine and water

A few more reasons that will help you decide to come along:

Directions
By car from the airport to Voukelari – just click on the picture and you will get to the route.
You can also take the bus to Plakias. Then you have to change buses in Rhethymnon. Maybe I can add to this route.
A cab costs about 140€ per trip. That is already half a car rental.
.
You can also get to your destination easily by public transport. There is a bus from the airport to Rhethymnon, from where you can take a bus to Plakias. From Plakias you can either take a taxi or find a pick-up for the last few minutes. In 2024 it was €19 and a 2 1/2 hour bus ride. Slightly longer than by car
