20–21 May
The parish church of the seaside resort of Nea Styra is dedicated to Constantine and Helen and keeps 20-21 May with an episcopal vespers and liturgy (two metropolitans in 2025), the informal start of the season on this stretch of coast opposite Attica. Religious rather than a glenti, but the tavernas on the front open for it.
15 August · Stouppaioi / Tsakaioi
Two of the stone hamlets on the slopes above Karystos, Stouppaioi and Tsakaioi, hold their Panagia panigiria on 15 August in the schoolyards, with violin-and-lute circle dances until dawn and home-cooked local dishes. Narrow roads and no lighting, so drive up in daylight or share a taxi from Karystos.
16 August
The ferry port of Marmari, an hour from Rafina, follows the Dekapentavgoustos with its own harbour panigiri on the night of 16 August, with a nisiotika orchestra and singers (Matthaios Giannoulis and Maria Nomikou in 2025) and dancing on the quay. Easy to reach from Athens for a night; the last boat back is around midnight in summer, so plan to stay.
Dates are resolved for 2027: fixed saint's days as they fall, movable feasts computed from Orthodox Easter (2027: 2 May). Panigiria are usually held on the eve of the saint's day, and a village occasionally shifts one to the nearest weekend — where an entry says "confirm locally", the date comes from recent years' announcements rather than an official calendar. If you know better, the feedback button exists for exactly this.
