Bravo Alonissos

A couple of youngsters (Christos Voutsinas, Eva Demopoulou and Marios Xioutis) in Alonissos have taken the bad weather in their stride and made this funny video.

This is what they say:”It is the 176th of August and we are here to contradict the stories that Alonissos is in a state of emergency. We will see the inhabitants go out and enjoy the lovely winter sun. Hello guys, have a good summer! The sand is around us the guys say. On this hot winter’s day. Guys have you put sun cream on? Good for you guys. Say something to the audience who believes we are cold and in a mess. Have a good summer! He! where does she go in her bikini! Two beers please. Stay there I will bring you two cold ones.
