Hundreds of volunteers of all ages scattered to 69 parts of the island to represent ancient communication through warning signs
The custom of communication of the ancient towers and citadels of Sifnos “came to life” through the 19th annual event that took place a few days ago with co-organizers DIKES, the municipality of Sifnos and the Cultural Association of Sifnos.
Hundreds of volunteers of all ages were dispersed in 69 parts of the island to represent ancient communication through warning signals and to send a message of hope, optimism and fellowship.
The increasing participation of volunteers and the addition of more points each year is indicative of the dynamics of the project. The ancient towers in Sifnos, are connected to the citadels of the island and served as frying pans, outposts or storage areas. The frying pans in Sifnos began to be built to send warning signals about pirate raids, during the Roman and Venetian years. It is noted that Sifnos was recently included in the new additions among the most historic places from 72 countries of the world, according to the international television medium for cultural tourism, 4k Heritage TV / Visiotel.
“Our history is our future, especially at a time when travel trends and people’s needs are changing. We preserve the traditions and the timeless values ​​and we take care to pass them on to the new generations but also to the visitors of the island, making them all the communes of the long culture of Sifnos “, said the Mayor of the island, Maria Nadali.
