[attachment=299:attachment]I think Plakias is a place thats good for all seasons. After two visits in December and January Im beginning to enjoy the feel of the real village.
The feast of the Epiphany was celebrated with the Blessing of the Waters.
According to Greek Orthodox tradition, Epiphany, the anniversary of the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in the River Jordan, is celebrated each year on January 6, in a ritual according to which men brave the chilly waters to dive for and retrieve a cross after it has been blessed by the priest and tossed into the water.
The man who recovers the cross will have good luck throughout the coming year.
This was Plakias on the 6th Jan 2006
