Place and Hotel

Crete: the largest island in Greece dotted with numerous coves, bays and peninsulas, which afford a multitude of soft, sandy beaches along the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea. One of the most exquisite destinations in the World, Crete will welcome you with its smiling sun, the sounds of the Cretan lyre, the scents of orange blossom and jasmine, a slice of cool red watermelon and a glass of iced raki.
The Festival will be held in the OUT OF THE BLUE CAPSIS ELITE RESORT ллллл, from Sunday 28th August to Saturday 4th September 2011 (the festival closes on Saturday September 3rd during the Awards Ceremony and the Gala Dinner, while Sunday September 4th is day of departure).  All the festival activities (games, lessons, and friendly night tournaments) will be held in the hotelТs conference rooms MINOS&LIDA.
