Join The Festivities
Get ready for a Santorini fiesta at the Agia Paraskevi Festival which usually happens at the end of July ,the iconic whitewashed church in the heart of the village throws the ultimate bash. The day kicks off with a candle-lit ceremony inside, turning the quaint town into a sea of flickering lights. But that’s just the beginning! Head to the church grounds for a feast of crafts, mouth-watering Greek delights, and live bands that’ll have you dancing Zorba-style. It’s a celebration that paints the town white —literally Ouzo flows, Greek tunes echo, and the Aghia Paraskevi Festival becomes a lively ode to summer nights in Santorini.
