Dear Mark,
Thanks for your email!One of the most famous festivals in my country is the festival of traditional dances from lots of Greek regions in Antiparos.It takes place in the port of Antiparos and specifically in Saint Marina,on the track,on July 16th on the eve of Saint Marina and lasts for only this day.
Preparetions for the festival start days before.The municipality of Antiparos,set up the various facilities and the free foods and drinks,that are for free.Also,they call the musicians and the dancers,who are supposed to come a few days before the festial.
During the festival,there are a lot of things to do..People can listen and watch the music of the musicians and the dancers of various Greek regions.Visitors can also eat souvlaki and other kinds of food and try the Antiparian tsikoudia and ouzo.In addition,at the end of the festival,they can learn how to dancethose dances by the dancers.
Overall,going to this traditional dancing festival in Antiparos is an unforgettable experience.If you ever get the chance to go,don’t miss it!
