Faces and colors !! Matala Street Painting 2019
The Street Painting Team was at this year's Matala Street Painting.
For the first time in 8 years, our team had the opportunity to be and participate in this year's color festival not as an Organizer but we were delighted to experience it as a spectator and participant. With that in mind, we had the opportunity to paint and also to get to know some of the people who participated this year but also in previous years in the event to paint the asphalt, whether professionals or hobbyists, children and adults ....
Giorgos Saridakis from Petrokefali is responsible for this wonderful painting. He has been involved in almost all the years in Matala street painting and chooses (and not unfairly) at the same spot to paint every year. This year he painted in the memory of fisherman Yannis Andrianakis, who recently died and was one of the most iconic figures of Matala.
Marina and Kostas from Mires participated for the first time in Matala street painting and enjoyed the experience. They chose to draw a beautiful dream catcher.
