CORFU. Sunday 10 August at 21:30.
The Corfu Events Organisation (OKΕ), in collaboration with the Ionian Islands Regional Authority, the Municipality of Central Corfu, the Regional Union of Municipalities of the Ionian Islands, and with the voluntary contribution of members, friends and sponsors, is reviving “Varkarola 2025” — the August Sea Festival — while preserving its traditional and popular character rooted in its original Venetian origins, adapted to the local Corfiot colour and the religious sentiment of the season.
The event blends narration with traditional and beloved classical melodies and hymns, under the light of the August full moon, on Sunday, August 10, at 21:30, in the picturesque location of Faliraki.
