Large parade in Patras

Large parade in Patras

Over 30,000 people took part in the Patras Carnival on Sunday, with tens of thousands more attending the festivities in spite of the heavy rain in the city.

The main theme for the majority of this year's carnival floats was of course the economic crisis.

The carnival parade, which concluded on Sunday evening, is Greece's biggest and brought the season to a close ahead of "Clean" Monday.
