Event Kookeet Bruges

The San Miniato National White Truffle Market; is held here every year during the last three weekends of November. It is an important, internationally recognised fair that hosts many gastronomic and cultural events.

The holiday of the Elena pork ham is a yearly tradition and is organized by the local tourism council and the Elena municipality. The main idea is to revive the forgotten tradition of the Elenian fair that was held on Dimitrovden – a big Christian holiday.

Aegina, the island of the pistachio, hosts the annual “Fistiki Festival” in September. The trade fair set up along the harbour of the island is the core of the event. Around 60 stands offer a great quantity of fistiki (pistachio) as well as its derivatives and a variety of traditional local agricultural products.

The internationally acknowledged festival, recorded in the book of world records as well, is a genuine fiesta. The celebration of fish soup and friendship takes place on the second Saturday of July.
