Karpathos, Greek island near Rhodes, 1982: for St John's festivities of 3 days with young girls from villages (mainly from Olympos village) who dance led by men, as a show for potential husbands. Overseas Greeks return to this period to find a wife. The husband will go abroad and return at the same time each year. Girls wear their dowry (gold pieces) as their clothes. The prettiest are the least lotties in pieces.
