SUMMARY:Feast of Agios Nikolaos\, Chora
LOCATION:Chora\, Anafi\, Greece
DESCRIPTION:Anafi's patron saint has his church on the main square of Chora and the island keeps his day\, 6 December\, with a liturgy and a formal communal meal organised by the cultural association. It's a residents' winter feast — a handful of visitors at most — and reaching the island in December depends on the weekly Santorini boat and the weather.\n\nhttps://aegeanblueprint.com/festivals/anafi/#chora-feast-of-agios-nikolaos-chora

SUMMARY:Lighting of the Christmas boat\, Bourtzi\, Skiathos Town
LOCATION:Skiathos Town\, Skiathos\, Greece
DESCRIPTION:Skiathos\, a sailors' island\, decorates boats rather than trees: on St Nicholas' day\, 6 December\, the municipality lights the big illuminated boat by the Bourtzi at the old port at 8 pm and switches on the town lights\, with carols and a stall or two\, and smaller lit boats appear in house windows. It opens a month of Christmas events at the Bourtzi cultural centre (bazaars\, Karagiozis\, school plays). Ferries run a reduced winter schedule from Volos and Agios Konstantinos\, so check them first.\n\nhttps://aegeanblueprint.com/festivals/skiathos/#skiathos-town-lighting-of-the-christmas-boat-bourtzi-skiatho
