The village of Melidoni is found approximately 27km east
of Rethymnon in the Municipality of Geropotamos, Crete.
Melidoni village now has developed considerably although
there are still some old Venetian buildings to be seen in
the back streets if you take a walk through. During the
summer Melidoni village is extremely lively, with dancing
and public events. On Clean Monday, the last day before
Lent, there is an ancient ceremony only held in a very few
places on Crete, marking the day with much festivity
including fancy dress.
Melidoni village has its own bakery, petrol station and
small grocery shops as well as tavernas and "kafenia"
together with the inevitable kiosk as found all over Greece.
