Furthermore, the Chania Chamber will run a series of B2B sessions for visitors and the festival’s participating companies on Saturday, August 19, in a bid to facilitate networking and future collaborations.

In addition, the Green Tourism Festival will host the presentation of travel packages created in the context of the “Development of a Transnational Network for the Promotion of Sustainable Coastal Tourism – CROSS-COASTAL-NET “program funded by European, Greek and Cypriot funds

The program which saw the collaboration of Chania and Pafos, aimed to create a platform that would highlight overtourism’s negative effects on environmentally sensitive coastal areas and propose sustainable solutions.

The Kissamos Taste & Art Festival week will launch on August 16 and run until August 22, hosting a series of culinary and cultural events and exhibitions.
