Carnivals
- Name: Amfisa's Carnival
- Location: Amfissa
- Description:
Legends about ghosts are very common
in this part of Greece. It is said that
the ghosts are souls of people or animals
who have been killed and that they wander
around the area. The most popular of
all is the Ghost of Harmaina. This one,
loved and protected the Tambakides(tanners)
whose work forced them to be near by
the waters day and night. Many people
swear that they have seen this ghost
walking at night all over the town and
the spring nearby where it disappeared.
Some of the older people believe that
the Ghost of Harmaina used to walk every
Saturday night; it would come down from
the Brook of Kolokythou and wander across
the streets, moaning and rattling its
chains. During the last week-end of
the carnival, the legend of the Ghost
is re-enacted in Amfissa. Somebody disguised
as the ghost of Harmaina, accompanied
by people wearing carnival costumes,
follow the course of the legendary ghost.
Debates of satirical nature are held
in the town?s historical coffee shop.
Their main subject is of course the
ghost and its legend.

- Name: Galaxidi's Carnival
- Location: Galaxidi
- Description:
During the Carnival period (Triodion),
Galaxidi lives in the spirit of marry-making,
because most of the locals go around
in disguise. In every neighborhood,
people set up large fires, to dance,
eat, drink and have fun around. People
of Galaxidi, do not attack each other
with streamers, confetti and other carnival
"ammunition" but they prefer, to sprinkle
their fellow citizens with flour instead.
This is a very old custom, starting
since 1801 to nowadays. At those times,
citizens of Galaxidi, despite the Turkish
occupation, were willing to celebrate
the Carnival, to dance and have fun.
They used to dance in circles, one for
the ladies the other for men. Most of
them had masks on their face, or they
just paint themselves black. As years
went by, they added the habit to throw
flour or other smooth powder to each
other. All locals participate in this
custom. The Carnival of Galaxidi, is
very vivid and colorful. People keep
the regional carnival customs with respect.
