Customary procession in Olympos, Karpathos
Kaseris Nikos
Colour photographic view of a traditional wedding procession in Olympos on Karpathos, photographed by N. Kaseris. The large group crosses a dirt path on the outskirts of the settlement. In the foreground dominate women and young girls dressed in traditional local costume. One of the girls carries a basket full of wedding favours wrapped in white tulle. Behind them follows a large group of men and women, including the musicians, while to the left on a raised concrete platform stand two men. In the background stretch houses and windmills built along the ridge of the barren rocky mountain landscape.
