The first banners advertising the summer festivals, the panigiria, have been spotted again, signalling the start of the Kythirian summer 2017. Kato Livadi is this year’s kick-off: Saturday, July 22nd, from 9pm onwards with live music, dance, food and drinks. Don’t miss it because it’s great fun to dance the Karavitikos, the Chaniotikos or the Kalamatianos together with enthusiastic Greek islanders. Many other villages will follow: the program is not yet complete, but you can already note these dates in your diary: July 28th Kalokairines, August 6th Avlemonas, August 12th Mitata, August 15th Potamos, August 19th Fratsia, September 15th Kalamos, and September 23rd Agia Pelagia.
