Pepper Festival – Aetos
In late August, the village of Aetos celebrates one of the region’s most treasured products at the Pepper Festival, dedicated to the renowned Florina red pepper. Visitors from across the region gather to enjoy local flavours, music, dancing, and festivities, as tables are filled with dishes showcasing the versatility of this beloved ingredient — from stuffed and fried peppers to rich sauces and jams, all prepared with care according to local recipes and offered free of charge. As the evening unfolds, traditional music, dancing, and local wine keep the celebration alive late into the night.
