One hour west of Thessaloniki(motorway 'Via Egnatia') is Kozani, the capital city of West Macedonia.
This year from 23 Februry until 6 March Kozani is living in carnival rythms! The 12 Fanoi in every neighbourhood is prepairing for the carnival. The Fanoi are : Fanos Aristotelis, Fanos Ai-Thanasis, Fanos Gitia, Fanos Budanathka, Fanos Keramario, Fanos Pigad' tu Keramario, Fanos Sk'rka, Fanos Ai-Dimitris, Fanos Paulou Mela, Fanos Alonia, Fanos Kasmirtzidis, fanos Lakus t'Magan. There is also a fanos in the central square. Every fanos prepairs its instalations - in a central place of its region, which consist from three wooden houses. The biggest house is decorated like an old Kozani's living room, in the other house (kerastar') it is treating local wines and Kozani's traditional handmade foods, and in the other house there is the orchestra, which plays scoffing and traditional songs (and of course Kozani's "anthem" : enteka) and everybody dances around a big fire. Every night there is a fest in every Fanos, and the last Sunday night, after the big Carnival Parade, all fanoi turn on and everyone should drink, eat and dance in all of them. Many events happend in these 12 days (Surd games, fanos neoleas etc.), and of course all clubs, bars, cafés, restaurants, and "greek buzukia clubs" are open many of them 24 hours a day...because Kozani never sleeps!!!

[edit] Greek King from Macedonia
[edit] Alexander The Great -
(Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii, from a 3rd century BC original Greek painting, now lost)
’my son ask for thyself another
Kingdom for that wich I leave
Is too small for thee’
(king philip of macedonia - 339 b.c.)
Near to the east
In a part of ancient greece
In an ancient land called macedonia
Was born a son
The legend his name was Alexander
At the age of nineteen
He became the macedon king
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian sea
In 334 b.c.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
Became a legend ’mongst mortal men
King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The scythians fell by the river of Jaxartes
Then egypt fell to the Macedon king as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria
By the Tigris river
He met king Darius again
And crushed him again at the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
Became a God ’mongst mortal men
A Phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the ’Gordian knot’
And the legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia
Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for christianity
Marching on marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander’s army line by line
They wouldn’t follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
Alexander the great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the great
He died of fever in babylon
