Komboloi: Derived from the Greek word kombos,

meaning knot, specifically a large number of knots,

and loi, meaning a group that sticks together.

Join us for an evening of fun and entertainment

Bring your family, friends (and your tavli )

and enjoy delicious mezedes, ouzo, wine, sweets and Greek coffee

in a relaxed and friendly setting

with live Greek music by the talented bouzouki player

Achilleas and Compania

As we all know, komboloi is part of our culture;

it is said to have many, many magical qualities and a lot of people

hold it to pass time (and maybe worries) especially

when they are around a kafenio environment.

So, let us re-live this interesting tradition by bringing along

our own komboloia for exhibit and show and tell.

We plan to make a brief presentation about komboloi

and sing (together with Achilleas) all the songs about it.

to visit and look at interesting books

(you may also bring your own books for display as well).

No one should miss this event. There will be a lot of fun.

Plan to be there!
