Locals in the Greek village of ‘Galaxidi’ have participated in their annual tradition of ‘flour war’. The street battles include participants with bags of sticky and color-tainted flour.
Villagers cover their homes with plastic seething and then wear goggles and plastic suits to protect themselves. The start of the fight begins with the ringing of cow bells.
Then the participants try to coat each other with baking flour as much as possible. Locals believe the tradition initiated when residents defeated Ottoman rulers in 1801.
