    Palaiokastritsa’s Varkarola is a captivating portrayal of Odysseus’ arrival on the Island of the Phaeacians after his long journey. With boats, platforms, dancers, actors, and fireworks, the myth comes to life against the backdrop of Vangelis Papathanasiou’s compositions. Musicians, dancers, divers, fireworks, and natural beauty combine to create a stunning spectacle every year. The event, first held in 1997, is a collaboration involving the local community, Scuba diving center, the Holy Monastery of Panagia Palaiokastritsa, and local boatmen.

    This year’s event will take place on Saturday, August 12th, the eve of the small church’s celebration, in the bay of Palaiokastritsa.

    Start time: 20:45.
