Dad-Yiannis from the village of Kalimerianoi in Kymi impressed Evia with his dancing skills.

With a three-cover feast, they threw it at the dance on May Day in the Kalimerians and papa Yiannis was a “brostaris”

Our island celebrated the May Day holiday with a multitude of events, festivals and improvised feasts where people had fun with their hearts, celebrating the arrival of May and preparing “the spirit” for the endless feasts of the summer.

Indicatively, with a “three-cover feast” the famous May Day Euboia custom of Piperia was revived in Agios Georgios of Istiaia, in the Municipality of Istiaia-Edipsos.

The “pepper” wears a raincoat, because he is drenched with hoses, and is followed by the president of the village.

They cover it with wheat, ferns, barley and branches of palm trees.

They wear many bells on him and the rope that ties them is long enough to be pulled by those who follow him.

The custom was honored by the cultural association in Rovies and the “pepper” made his appearance next to the deputy mayor Giorgos Stamoulos and the residents of the village.
