The 3rd Naxos Festival includes the exhibition "Games in the Tower" in collaboration with the Benaki Museum, and a tribute to the poets C.P. Cavafy, Federico G. Lorca and Fernando Pessoa — three creators with a completely personal universe that is now universally accepted, and whose work inspires creators from all areas of art.
