After speaking to a few people, the concensus was that few thought that Sortiros would be a really big night, but it was HUGE. So many people coming out for the first night of this panighiri, most of them on the dance floor, singing along, and most definitely building up the kefi (good cheer). A few new tunes from the band and it was on for young and old. A really great night. Seems like everyone is happy to shake off the crisis for a party. A very successful night, which I'm sure the Stavros community, really appreciated. It was good to see both locals, greek visitors and foreign visitors, get into the mood of this festival with such fervour and cheer that it made everyone really enthusiastic. A great night, and now it's on to night 2 of Sortiros.
