Three-day holiday heightens with musical events, traditional
kite-flying
The three-day holiday marking Clean Monday came to an end on Monday
with musical and other events taking place all over the country and
with the traditional custom of kite-flying facilitated by favourable
weather conditions.
Various musical events were organised in Athens on the hills of
Filopappou, Strefi and Skouze. The municipality of Athens offered food
and traditional "Lagana" bread free, while thousands of Athenians
gathered at Filopappou with their families to fly kites and watch the
events held in the presence of Athens Mayor Dora Bakoyianni.
Meanwhile, traffic authorities have implemented special measures on
national motorways as holidaymakers will begin their return to the
capital on Monday afternoon.
