Only In Greece 1 - Flour War in a Small Greek Town

In a small Greek town, villagers engage in a unique annual event known as the flour war. Participants don protective gear and use over 1500 kilograms of flour, tinted with food coloring, as their weapon of choice. The event is a fun-filled day for most, except those with respiratory issues or gluten intolerance. The battle starts with cowbells, dividing villagers into rival gangs who aim to cover each other in flour. The cleanest group on the opposite riverbank is declared the winner.
