October 28, 2025: Italian Pizza in the Wood-Fired Oven with trahanas<\/em> soup\u00a0 \u2014 Saying \u201cNO\u201d to the Ordinary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping its promise, the Cultural Association of Homori once again hosted its autumn celebration of gastronomy \u2014 this year honoring the humble trahanas<\/em>. The festivities began on Sunday, October 26, with a wreath-laying ceremony in the village square, under a fine drizzle, at the Monument to the Fallen. Around eighty of us gathered in the courtyard of the old Kafeneio<\/em> and got to work at the cauldron: twenty liters of water from the \u201cGreat Spring,\u201d five kilos of trahanas<\/em>, butter, salt, and a full oka<\/em> of feta cheese. The result? Bowls of steaming trahanas<\/em>, savory pies, souvlaki, and desserts \u2014 all served with tsipouro and local wine. As the afternoon wore on, dancing and singing broke out beneath the yellow-green mulberry leaves. In the square, our friend Kostas Ziamparas from Agios Dimitrios had set up his stall, overflowing with local Kravarian delicacies \u2014 chestnuts, jams, liqueurs, oregano, and more. Lucky were those who managed to grab some before they ran out!<\/p>\n

The next day, the festivities moved to Kato Mahalas<\/em>, at the initiative of the Vice President of the Association, Mrs. Katerina Englezou-Trolia . By early morning, the old oven at the threshing ground was blazing with firewood, and villagers gathered eagerly under the gazebo, ready for action. The Homori pizza production line worked like clockwork: dough rolled out, brushed with homemade tomato sauce, layered generously with toppings, baked to perfection, and served hot to the crowd. The soundtrack to the day was as eclectic as the flavors \u2014 from modern takes on Greek folk tunes and Italian chamber music to lively Balkan rhythms, and finally, the familiar clarinets and traditional dances we all love. Agios Athanasios and the nearby sheepfolds saw record numbers of visitors, while the more adventurous trekked all the way down to Kotsalos River.<\/p>\n

The images, music, and flavors we shared will stay with us \u2014 until the next celebration comes around!<\/p>\n
