OLYMBI (Village) CHIOS
Today, the carnival activities in the mastic villages, such as Olympi, continue
the Turkish judge trials' charade. This event dates back to the Ottoman Occupation
where the Aghas or Turkish official tried the citizens and forced them to pay
taxes in mastic. During the carnival season, the man who is dressed as "Aghas"
usually mock political officials currently in office and charges them with the
legislature they disagree with. This satirical performance is unique to other
mastic villages such as Mesta,
Elata,
Lithi,
and others.
