Celebrated annually 50 days after the Greek Orthodox Easter the day of the Holy Spirit. Note: Also known as ‘The Flood Festival’ or ‘Whit Monday’. Greek traditions have biblical roots with references to the great flood which links to Greek mythology.
Celebrations are connected with the ancient ceremonies organised in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis.
As the name suggests, water is the main focus of the festival. Join the locals who gather at the coast to mark the Christian feast of the Pentecost with religious ceremonies, concerts, boat races, swimming competitions and water-throwing activities to symbolize the purification of the body and soul.
