SUMMARY:Feast of Agioi Kirykos and Ioulitta\, Ano Steni
LOCATION:Steni\, Evia (Central)\, Greece
DESCRIPTION:Steni\, the plane-tree village at the foot of Dirfys\, keeps 15 July at its chapel of Agioi Kirykos and Ioulitta with a liturgy (the Metropolitan of Chalkida presided in 2018) and a breakfast laid on by the parish council afterwards\; the same village hosts a municipal trade fair (emporopanigyri) at the end of August.
