And then it all begins! The exquisite floats open the parade impressing everyone with the creativity, imagination and the sense of humor of their creators. The Carnival Queen on her own magnificent float, dances smiling and waving to people who get really excited. The Carnival Groups follow, some of them having their own impressive floats. At the same time a national broadcast takes place so all people in Greece become part of the fun and the festive mood. The parade ends in the sweetest way; loads of chocolate bars are, in a way, \u201cthrown\u201d to our visitors from the last float. It is real magic either joining the parade or just watching it. No one stands still; everybody dances to the rhythm of the carnival songs and music.<\/p>\n<h4>Read more at:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnivalpatras.gr\/en\/apokria\/big-parade\/\">carnivalpatras.gr<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>For last minute <a href=\"https:\/\/gettransfer.com\/el?sub_id=38b0b0576e654e9f80e205d6b-172681&amp;utm_campaign=travelpayouts&amp;utm_medium=cpa&amp;utm_source=travelpayouts\"><strong>transfer<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviasales.com\/?marker=172681.Zz5564a389a02745739df679d-172681&amp;params=ZTH1\">hotel<\/a><\/strong> bookings check our providers or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/201974524027353\">Make A Request<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1096\" src=\"https:\/\/travelfixme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Patras-Carnival_3-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelfixme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Patras-Carnival_3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelfixme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Patras-Carnival_3-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelfixme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Patras-Carnival_3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE BIG PARADE Sunday the 17th of March!
