1Attend a Traditional Panigiri Festival

A panigiri is a traditional Greek festival that celebrates a village’s patron saint with music, dance, and food. These festivals take place throughout Greece, especially in the summer, and offer a chance to experience Greek culture in its most joyful form.

The island of Ikaria, known for its long-living inhabitants, hosts some of the most famous panigiria, where locals and visitors dance to traditional music until sunrise. Attending a panigiri is a truly immersive way to experience Greek culture and hospitality.
