Outdoor feast with souvlaki, alcohol and loud music - Some people wore their carnival costumes

Newsroom February 20 03:39

As Tsiknopempti (Smoky Thursday) Thessaloniki moves today, with the barbecues and the fun being on fire in the city center.

The street Vassileos Heraklion has turned into a big… grill, with young and old alike having set up… a celebration after music.

For another year, from early afternoon a big outdoor feast with souvlaki, alcohol, and loud music has been set up, while the sidewalks and streets of the center have been “flooded” with people.
