5 Days in Prevza

Return to the hotel in the afternoon. In the evening, watch the procession of the Epitaphs through the central streets of the historic center, culminating in Androutsou Square, with a marching band playing mournful tunes.

After breakfast, gather at the picturesque "Saitan Bazaar" to witness the tradition of the First Resurrection. When the priest of the Metropolitan Church of Saint Charalampos announces the First Resurrection, the city is filled with the sounds of firecrackers, and clay pots are broken on the cobbled streets. This tradition dates back to the Ottoman era, when the people of Preveza made their own firecrackers to ward off the Turks during Easter. After the celebrations, we depart for Lefkada.
