What is a Panigiri?

What is a panigiri?

Hello there! A panigiri is actually a traditional festival that has its roots way back in centuries. These festivals are organized during the summer mostly in Greek islands. In panigiri the people of the village celebrate the main saint. 

The festival includes many things, from praying and chanting in the beginning to traditional music, local wine and numerous foods in the end. After the ceremony people start to dance and sing local island music and taste the traditional foods and drinks of the island. 

If you are planning to go to Greece for your vacation during summer, you should not miss the chance to participate in a Greek panigiri. For more information you can email us at: info@kidslovegreece.com.
