The Mavroneri spring — Melanydros in old Greek — in Neohori remains a living memory and a historic feature of our village. However much the undergrowth around it grows back, we keep caring for it and using it.

On 27 May 2026, volunteers and residents cleaned the area, shared stories and felt again how much the spring has meant, and still means, for our village and our community. Ourania took care of breakfast and Antonis treated everyone to pasta at noon.

Our thanks go to the Solidarity Trails and to Ioanna Livitsanou.
