Ismene

Poem

To the mountain up there

is a deserted church

her signal does not hit

he has no cantor nor a priest.

A shiny candle

and a stone cross

has a monk's ornament

the poor chapel.

And the passer-by who passes by

stands and worships it

and with much reverence

the white the cross kisses.

Legends

In the village an area is called Fonissa. It was named so because in the old days someone had been killed there and since then it has stayed.

Just outside the port in the minavra they say that there is a grouper of about 30 kilos. Many have tried to catch him and many say they have seen him, but no one has ever been able to get him out.

Aggeliki

Dance

An Essiotic music and dance spectacle is the aptalikos. It is a melody consisting of Essiotic and Smyrneian elements, which is not accompanied by singing, that is, it is only music without words. From musical instruments are used mainly the touberleki and the oud. The dance consists of seven quick steps which, together with the movements of the hands, represent people who work.
