As you step onto the festival grounds you are greeted by an amazing smell. There is tons of food to eat including: moussaka, pastitso, spanakopita, gryos, dolmathes, and saganaki (flaming cheese!) The list of delicious treats can go on and on but let's hear it for the baklava. Do not leave without getting a piece of the buttery honey soaked filo pastry treat.
The festival is not very large but utilizes both the indoor and outdoor areas of the location.
Every hour on the hour church tours are provided. The church is stunning. The artwork on the walls and the beauty of the structure can easily be appreciate by all people of any background.
The outside area of the festival does not offer much cover from the sun so I would highly advise keeping that in mind while dressing for the occasion, using sunscreen, and/or bringing an umbrella to use for shade to avoid over exposure to the sun.
However, the outdoor eating/entertainment space is covered by a large tent so you can take a rest in the shade to enjoy the dancers in traditional clothing and listen to some Greek music.
Overall the event is a fun way to spend a few hours getting stuffed on delicious Greek food. Maybe in the future there could be some more interactive areas to the event. Perhaps even be a place to break plates?! Could be fun! Opa!
