During the day, many were commenting on just how quiet the island was, so it was a very nice surprise to see so many people at the Kioni Panighiri, all revved up and ready to party. Many locals of course, but also many visitors to the island, who felt comfortable enough to join in the dancing, even though not all were comfortable with the steps. The Kioni main street was laid out in colourful mayhem, swirling to the greek music that all knew and loved, played by Mnistires. A very successful Kioni festival again this year. I'm certain the local community would have been very pleased with the turn out. Not only does the Kioni Panighiri celebrate Ag. Lia (St. Lia) but it's also an opportunity to raise some money for the local community and its church, which is always at its core.
