Kostis's journey begins in Nisyros, a volcanic geopark of global significance. In Zeli Locris, we discover the Women’s Association and their unique relationship with Saint Seraphim. In Ano Doliana, the locals divide their lives between Parnonas and Astros Kynourias, with the sea on one side and the "Village" on the other. We climb the unexplored Chelmos in Peristera Aigialeias and follow in the footsteps of Golfo and Tasos. When do they dance the legendary “Koupa” in Megalo Chorio of Tilos, and why is the island considered a place of innovation and pioneering? In Jourtzia Aspropotamos, Kostis dives into the “Demon's Mantani,” and in Neo Argiri, he walks in the footsteps of Zacharias Papantoniou. Why has Nikos Tsiforos dubbed Lake Evia “Little Venice”? Sunday in the Village Again: a magical journey into history, folklore, music, cuisine, customs, and traditions. A journey into our culture.

/Duminica tu chouare mata/ = Sunday at the Village in Vlach.

The celebration of the village begins with the traditional Patinada of marriage, weaving together recipes, stories from past generations, and the intersection of old-world traditions with modern life. What does the term Tzourtzia mean, and why do locals steadfastly hold onto this name instead of the official "Agia Paraskevi"? What is the mysterious "demon's mantane," and why are so many travelers drawn to experience this otherworldly tradition in such an enchanting landscape? Explore the craftsmanship of a handmade walking stick, the cultural significance of FATA (the Educational Association of Tzourtzia Athamania), and the enduring legacy of this historical organization. Discover how the people of Tzourtzia have achieved remarkable success across the globe, spreading their heritage far and wide.
And don’t miss the secrets of making the "bride's Kouloura bread," or as it’s known locally, the "bride's collar." This festive episode is a tribute to the rich Vlach cultural heritage, celebrating its traditions, history, and enduring charm.
