I've already scouted the area and I realised that the best place to stand, for a good photograph, is inside the river.

Gynecocracy at Monoklisia village

Some women visit home to home to invite others to the feast. They go into the yards, they chase chickens, dance, eat doughnuts made by housewives to cure them, drink wine. This goes on in every house and on the streets of the village.

Saint Averky on Santorini island
Location: Greece / South Aegean / Santorini
Photography / Text: George Tatakis
Saint Averky is the protector of wines, at least in Santorini island. Santorini has two churches after Saint Averky, a name not too common in Greece, one in Pyrgos and the other in Emporio villages. On his name day, the winemakers of Santorini open the new wine barrels as a custom. This is what I wanted to experience and by the way taste some of the brilliant wine that Santorini makes.
