People dancing in the streets to the beat of the drums, and other instruments creating a festive atmosphere that is infectious and energetic. The sound of the music and the movement of the dancers create a dynamic and unforgettable experience that is unique to the carnival. It is a celebration of the unique culture and traditions of the area, and it attracts both locals and tourists who want to experience a truly authentic Greek carnival.
