Tyrnavos is a place of experience. The wild landscape surrounding it — the mountains, the Thessalian plain, the rivers and the forests — explains its distinct character: open, earthy, persistent. And if you find yourself here at the right time — which is now, because Tyrnavos is a must for Tsiknopempti — you can live an experience that blends satire, the body, tradition and freedom.
On this journey, the much-loved musician Thanasis Papakonstantinou speaks about Tyrnavos, about the voices that became lyrics, and about that place which is not always named, yet exists in every one of his songs.
Anastasia Panagiotou, Director of the Agricultural Winemaking Cooperative of Tyrnavos, talks with us about tsipouro, the cooperative, and explains what makes Tyrnavos’ distillate so distinctive.
Evgenia Mamanou, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Social Policy, sets the carnival mood, speaking about the traditional Bourani custom and the events taking place during the Tyrnavos Carnival.
