https://www.visitkavala.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/arapides.jpg1200800This ancient custom is revived on 6 January at Nikisiani in the Municipality of Pangaio. It takes us directly back to the cult practices that were most popular in Pangaio and symbolises the battle between life and death, fertility and the start of a new era.
