In the mountain village, the holiday atmosphere kicked into high gear on December 4 (EET) with Christmas lights, festive performances, and a live concert by Mariza Rizou and her band. And this is just the beginning. The festivities will continue throughout December, culminating on Christmas and New Year’s Day.
