Krokees Cultural Association
The historical "Cultural Association of Krokees" was founded in 1925 and is based in Krokees (Levetsova). Initially, it was founded with the aim of creating a philharmonic brass band. With the help of American expatriates, in 1925, the first instruments were bought, and the Italian conductor Giocondo Moretti was the chief musician in the Krokees (along with Gythio) from 1926 to 1930. In fact, he made the trip three times a week Gythio-Krokees-Gythio on his bike, covering a distance of 40 kilometres!
Today, the purpose of the Association is to preserve and highlight the cultural heritage of the place through a series of actions, initiatives and events (music and dance evenings, concerts, speeches, etc.)
Since 2011, the "Cultural Association of Krokees" has organised the "Seed Festival" that takes place in Krokees, while it has also founded the Association's Philharmonic. Also, at the Krokees Spiritual Centre, the Association organises courses in traditional dances and learning instruments (wind instruments, percussion) for children and adults.
