Carnival of Xanthi -The Northern Greece carnival
- 11983 reads
One of the most beautiful events in the city of Xanthi (or else "The city with the 1000 colours") is of course the Carnival, we all wait eagerly every year!
When March is on the way, all Greeks in the north know that one of their weekends should be devoted to this city.
The colorful, funny costumes and floats of Xanthi’s cultural groups make their appearance in the Sunday’s Parade which begins at Foro and ends in AOX Stadium. The carnival music, retsina and the welcoming attitude of the people is what makes this carnival so special.
Of course the fun does not end when the parade ends. On the contrary continues with many parties either in squares or in various café-bars in the city. If you have a free weekend and it happens to be the days of Carnival, don’t hesitate to visit Xanthi. You will love it!
