FIREWORKS AT KALAMATA

Saitopolemos in Kalamata
Those who wish to get their adrenaline pumping are welcome to visit the beautiful city of Kalamata and the Metropolitan Stadium and observe the most thrilling custom of all, the “Saitopolemos”. Participants are divided into teams, each team consisting of 15 to 30 members ready to light up their “saites” that are circular objects filled with handmade flammable material, a custom so dangerous yet equally impressive.
