The carnival of Patras

The party capital

Patras is the party capital of Greece and boasts plenty of parties and celebrations throughout the year. The celebrations that precede the period of Orthodox Lent are very particular, where parties such as bacchanics are organised. In fact, the origin of Petrasso's festivals is pagan and they were organized to celebrate fertility with orgies and phallic symbolism.

Over the centuries the celebrations have become milder while remaining, however, full of wild music, disguises, dances and jokes. For this reason, the most beautiful celebration is precisely the Carnival. The Patras carnival is immense, full of allegorical floats and music.
