Your skipper will be, as always, at your disposal to inform you about local customs, guide you to magnificent churches and to monasteries with amazing view and, of course, answer any potential questions that you may have. Above all, Easter is an integral part of Greek culture so, it’s worth taking the most out of your visit during this period.

Holy Thursday is a day of baking “Koulourakia”, the special Easter biscuits and dyeing of dozens of boiled eggs bright red to symbolize the blood of Christ and the renewal of life.

Leonidio recaptures one of the most phantasmagorical Easter customs of Greece, the flying of the hot-air balloons. When we say "Christos Anesti" (Jesus has risen) on Holy Saturday, the gluing from the hot-air balloons which are soaked with oil and petrol are set on fire makeing them to rise up in the sky and the stars.
