DECEMBER The first snow has fallen on Paiko and Goumenissa!. The streets are almost never closed and the snow creates a beautiful landscape of mountains and the villages. This is a time to gather at a tavern with a fireplace and wood stove to enjoy the local cuisine at prices and quality ... from the past! JANUARY The first month of the year brings all the active clubs in the region to organize a gathering on the occasion of 'pita cutting' which concludes with food and dancing. The weather is humid and clear, the moon low and walking these picturesque streets of the city gives you a sense of.... health and strength! FEBRUARY The memory of "Saint Trifon," the patron saint of winegrowers, is celebrated in Goumenissa on February 1st with "Kourbani," which includes the sacrifice of a male calf. The priest blesses the meat and it is cooked on site then distributed throughout the community, accompanied by an abundant amount dry wines, the Brass Bands of Goumenissa and many folk dances. |

Springtime in Goumenissa and on Paiko is our time to connect with nature, with the mountain awakening and with our own senses... |
| Summertime in Goumenissa and on Paiko, spending time under the shade of Plane trees, Beech and Chestnut trees, taking a dip in the cool river and listening to nightingales at dusk. |
| Autumn in Goumenissa, begins with the smells of the harvest, the cauldron of "Raki" and Vinification. The sounds of brass bands accompanies all "Grape" celebrations. |
| Winter in Goumenissa is fragrant with smells of wood burning stoves, the air is brisk and the first signs of snow and frost cover the mountain area. |
