Kataklysmos offers a long weekend which is sure to see the beaches and seaside towns attract crowds as various Flood Festivals are put on in celebration of the day.

Held each year 50 days after Orthodox Easter, this festival has special significance. Kataklysmos, meaning 'Deluge' or 'Cataclysm' in Greek, is a traditional celebration of Noah and his salvation from the Flood.

During the day there are all kinds of fun water-based activities such as windsurfing, kayak races and swimming competitions held in each region.

At night the coastal promenades hosts open-air concerts and bazaar stalls selling everything from corn on a stick to trinkets.
