Arnea - The town celebrates the feast days of Agia Paraskevi on 26 July and Agios Panteleimon on the following day, both rich and varied folk events. On Easter day in the village square the local people revive the old Easter Kiosk tradition, in which girls from dance groups dressed in traditional costumes regale visitors with painted eggs, pies, buns and wine, wishing them a Happy Easter and exchanging the traditional greeting 'Christ is Risen'. On the following day there is the tradition known as the "zygisma", and on the third day of Easter the ritual known as the Koutsamanoi, in which local people ride on horseback (in traditional costume) up the hill to worship the icons and join in the traditional dancing. There is then a shooting contest, using suspended red eggs as the targets, and once that is over they come down to the Chapel of Agia Paraskevi for more dancing and feasting.
