COSSACK AGAINST BALKANS by George Koulouridis

One day in a small town in Greece, a group of guys with their families gathered in a beautiful place to have fun. Suddenly a ruthless, speechless, slightly lost Cossack appeared out of nowhere, quietly wandering around the area. This enigmatic strange guy wandered aimlessly around the place, standing next to a loose Balkan guy, pointing at him with his pistol under the look of a big butcher, who nervously held two huge blades in his hands and was about to stain his all-white uniform. Everyone was wondering What is this guy doing here? Secret Agent; Paid executioner; Forgotten Bolshevik; No one knew… It was only a matter of time before the bloodshed began...Who will make the wrong move first? Fortunately, God helped to avoid the worst with the strange Cossack and Balkans become friends, drinking and dancing until the morning…

We come together and create something magical. The moments we share are beautiful and shine brightly even during our darkest times. It's like a movie that isn't played by actors but rather built and created by a company of people who pour their hearts and emotions into it. You can see the bond and connection in their eyes, which makes every moment wonderful. Every corner of the space carries a message; the flavours, the music, and the children's voices fill the atmosphere and bring out the child in all of us. We all become kids again in this special place. The children of the company are already preparing to take over from their parents to continue this fairy tale. We are lucky to have experienced it. Good friends are hard to find, but having them by our side is all we could ask for. Words cannot fully convey the aura and energy that this place gives us, but fortunately, there are pictures that can give you a glimpse of the magic.
