Each year after Epiphany, the tradition of ‘bridegroom splashing’ is revived in Anchialo and other areas with roots in the Black Sea coastal regions. Newlyweds from the previous year play central roles in this joyful ritual, symbolizing purification and preparation for married life. The event, filled with music, cold water splashes, and a later celebration featuring wine, food, and dance, highlights community solidarity and the importance of cultural heritage. Participants like Stavros Ioannou express joy in maintaining these traditions that connect generations.
