There is something magical about looking up at the night sky from the mountains of Crete. On September 24, astronomy lovers have the perfect reason to turn their gaze towards the stars during a special public evening organized by Skinakas Observatory.
A Night of Astronomy in Anogeia
Perched high on Mount Psiloritis, Skinakas Observatory is one of Crete’s most fascinating scientific landmarks, combining world-class astronomical research with spectacular mountain surroundings.
This year, however, the September 24 public event will take place at “The Shepherd’s Land” theme park in the Municipality of Anogeia, rather than at the observatory itself. From 20:00 to 23:00, visitors will have the opportunity to experience an evening dedicated to astronomy and the wonders of the Cretan night sky.
Look Up and Discover
Far from the bright lights of the coast, the mountains around Anogeia provide an atmospheric setting for an unforgettable evening. Combine your visit with a stroll through the traditional village, enjoy authentic Cretan cuisine, and finish the day with your eyes fixed firmly on the heavens.
For travelers seeking a different side of Crete, September 24 promises a night worth remembering.
