EDITORS COMMENTS
A lively scene from the Festival at Arapli, a traditional celebration near Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1910s. In this image, a group of jolly men, dressed in their Sunday best, are deeply engrossed in both dance and drinking. The festive atmosphere is further accentuated by the spread of a colorful cloth on the grass, adorned with plates of food and bottles of retsina wine. The men, linked arms, are lost in the moment, their faces reflecting pure joy and camaraderie. This seasonal custom, celebrated in the countryside around Thessaloniki, was an integral part of Greek history and culture. The men's traditional attire, with wide-brimmed hats and flowing garments, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The Festival at Arapli was a time for the community to come together, to celebrate, to eat, to drink, and to dance. This historical photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when simple pleasures brought people together in a spirit of unity and celebration.
