Diplo Custom

VOLISSOS (Village) CHIOS
This custom is revived every year by the cultural club of Volissos in the homonymous village. The last Sunday of the Carnival a series of people gathered on the village's square, singing the verses and dancing in the beat of the Volissian dance "Diplo". Then it follows a fast and furious festival, a great celebration on the square, with the people tasting souma (a drink made from figs) and eating roasted chickpeas and sweets.
