Nostos Aianeon
Every year on 15 August, the village of Aiani hosts Nostos Aianeon, a grand reunion of the Aiani diaspora dedicated to strengthening community ties and preserving the village’s collective memory. The event is organised by the “Proodos” Cultural and Educational Association of Aiani in collaboration with the Community of Aiani. The celebrations begin on the evening of 14 August with the Vespers service at the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, followed by a festive procession of the icon through the village streets and central square. After the Divine Liturgy on the morning of 15 August, the festivities culminate later that evening in the central square, where locals and visitors come together to enjoy live music, traditional dancing, local food, and fine wine.
