Frikes Panighiri in Ithaca Greece - Greek Island parade and speeches and dancing

I think the Frikes community plan to make this festival an annual event to coincide with the celebration of Andreas at Marmakas. There were so many cars, we were almost parked in Lahos. So many people. Great to see everyone turning up and having a great time.

Ithaki's Panighiri band Mnistires played their usual fare and people danced like there was no tomorrow. I doubt the yachters got much sleep last night, but I'm sure no one minded. It was a splash of colour with a cooling sea breeze after about 2am and it looked like it would continue until dawn.
