The "Stavraetoi" are synonymous with the bravery and pride of the Cretans. With performances at local, national, and international levels, they showcase Cretan culture through traditional dances and songs accompanied by the characteristic dynamics of the lyre and lute. The energy and passion of the dancers manages to sweep the audience away on a journey into the soul of Crete.

Behold the Vigalators... the protectors of the city! The work of the ancient watchmen was taken over by the vigalators. They were aged between 17 and 50 and were trained in the use of weapons. The viglatores were appointed to each vigla by the elders of the nearby villages. Their duty was to watch the sea horizon night and day and signal any ships sailing towards the beach.
