Avouris theater &
the coultural village "Skalia"
A place as the coultural village "Skalia" in Tragaki, at Zakynthos, would only serve a specific purpose; to bring people of different places and cultures in contact with each other and with the art in a natural environment.
A human friendly place, in which children and adults are going to feel joy and peace enjoying a variety of interesting events.
It offers what every cultural center, built with love and no financial interest would offer. And that is because its owner (Dimitris Avouris), is its creator himself.
Very important is, the fact that it is built on an island worldwide known for its tradition in the areas of music and (folklore) theater.
