The cultural associations of our area
Mousagores, the association of the Vathi community, which keeps the area's traditions alive and organises the Lafonisios Dromos.
A village is kept alive not only by its stones and its olive trees, but also by the people who come together, organise and celebrate. These are the cultural associations of our area.
Mousagores, the association of the Vathi community
The Educational, Cultural and Sports Association of the Vathi community “Mousagores” is based in Plokamiana and covers the whole area of the local community of Vathi: Vathi, Plokamiana, Tzitzifia, and Chrysoskalitissa, Lafonisi and Kefalia.
Mousagores organises the Lafonisios Dromos, the historic race held every year in memory of the victims of the Lafonisi massacre of 1824.
Do you know more?
I would love to write more about our associations here: when they were founded, what events they organise, who keeps them going, and where the lovely name “Mousagores” comes from. If you are a member or know more, write to me.
