The aim of the event, which has become an important point of interest for artists from around the world, is to raise awareness about the environment, and the protection of the sea in particular.

The goal of the organizer of the festival is to turn it into an annual event in Crete and to help people, especially the younger generation, become more aware about environmental issues.
