‘Tsiknopempti’ rituals will live on for as long as meat eaters and good barbecue chefs are around…

“Tsiknopempti” is Thursday of the 2nd carnival (Apokria) week, during which meat is charcoal grilled and consumed with lots of wine.

In the lead up to Greek Orthodox Easter, the national carnival known as Apokries (translates to “a leave from meat”) is celebrated in Athens over two weeks. It comes before the period of lent commences and where Greeks feast on meat, alongside street parties filled with music, dance, theatre and masquerades.

The stations are Agios Nikolaos, which is in Nikea, and Agia Barbara and Platea Eleftherias, which are both in Korydallos, west of the port city of Piraeus
