Καθαρή Δευτέρα: ‘Clean Monday’

On the first day of Lent, Καθαρή Δευτέρα ‘Clean Monday’ (March 10th), the Mayor hosted a party at Koukounaries beach to which more islanders turned out than ever before. We all took along our picnics and with much laughter, free-flowing wine, music and dancing, a great time was had by all. Following local tradition, the local children flew their kites and the weather was perfect with just the required amount of sunshine and wind to make it a successful, colourful and memorable occasion.
