Come 1 of March and celebrated the festival of Kapetanis. It is celebrated both in Tholaria and Langada the last Sunday before the Easter fast. One boy from the village is chosen to be the Kapetanios and he “selects” the girl who is his love. You get served wine and food accompanied by traditional music and dance until the next morning…
Or why not spend Easter on Amorgos 11-19/4. The island is a magic place during Easter, some customs are still celebrated from the Byzantine period. On the Good Friday the scent of sage and oregano will be all over the island, spread spread on the streets which is light up by candles when the “Epitaphios” passes. On Easter Saturday at midnight the liturgy ends with blessing and lightning of the “lambadas” (Easter candles) then everyone go outside to enjoy the fantastic fireworks. The fast breaks in the night with the traditional soap “Mageritsa”. The Easter Sunday brings a special sense of Amorgos when everyone has the goat turning over the fire. In the afternoon people are gathering in the village for the burning of Judas and the children are participating in traditional games.
