Mostra
Η “ΜΟΣΤΡΑ” των ΘΥΜΙΑΝΩΝ
Τα Θυμιανά είναι ένα μεγάλο χωριό της Χίου. Βρέχεται ανατολικά από Αιγαίο πέλαγος με τις υπέροχες παραλίες του Μέγας Λιμνιώνα και Καρφά και το λιμανάκι της Αγ. Ερμιόνης και συνορεύει βόρεια με το ευωδιαστό και πανέμορφο Κάμπο.
Mostra of Thimiana
Marvelous masks and mysterious figures are what makes carnival one of the greatest festivities celebrated all over the globe. The Mostra of Thimiana, taking place in the small village Thimiana, is one of them.
Name Day
In Greece the name day (ονομαστική εορτή or γιορτή) of a person is a very important day in the year. It is often even more important than the birthday. The name day is a tradition in several countries in Europe and America and in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries in general.
New Year's Eve
Rockets and happy faces on New Year's Eve are a custom habit in today's times. But this is not the only thing one can find on the island of Chios on the beginning of the new year.
Ochi-Day
On October 28 people in Greece celebrate the Ochi-Day (the “No”-Day). In 1940, this was the day when the Greek Prime Minister at that time Ioannis Metaxas said "No" to an ultimatum by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
