Ionian--Cephalonia

• Cantada (song): This is a song style typical of the Western Islands. Because of their proximity to Italy, many of the some and dances in this region reflect a western European influence.
• Sytro: A popular dance performed in the Cephalonian style.

• Barbouni (Carnival dance): Performed just before Lent in Cephalonia

• Mixanikos: The island of Kalymnos is noted for its sponges. Many locals earn their living by diving for them, but sometimes they dive a little too deep and stay down too long. In this dance, an old diver who has been paralyzed by the bends still tries to perform the dances of his youth. Miraculously, at the end of the dance he put his whole heart into it and dances as a young man (below).
