This is the official name of the Lefkadian carnival.
This year, after three years of silence, classic carnival dance music was heard again in the central market and the streets, laughters and dance, imagination and tension filled the air and expelled the fear and insecurity that had drowned us at the dark seasons of quarantine.
The beautiful city of Lefkada is such as Little Patras or Little Venice (for fans of Italian culture), if we observe their carnivalists and uniforms during these days of carnival.
The imaginative and colorful masks have replaced the masks of protection.
Valuable fabrics, loaded with shine and ornaments, artwork hats, tanks, made of love, laughter and dance..
Faromanita generally concerns a behavior of joy and relaxation..
In the last years before covid-19, carnival in Lefkada, though on a smaller scale, had nothing to envy from those of the big cities.
The imagination and the madness of the Lefkadians are over the limit and they know how to feast and have fun, putting aside their thoughts and daily lives. Preparations are already starting right after the first day of the year, the plans of the costumes and tanks began to come true and not only the city but also the villages of the island, organizing events, set up carnival performances and are taking part in the big parade of the city on the last Sunday of the carnival with great claims and endless imagination.

You can live in Lefkada every season, every celebration.
And why not, every day. You can see how
