Thanks for the notice. This year it falls on a Sunday night, so I'll be able to go after the store closes. The time until 1:15 is good for me, although I get up early the next day. Does anyone know if there will be a distribution of flowers or basil branches like other times?

Thanks for the announcement. This year it's Sunday evening, so after closing the accounts at the office I can get there around 9. I don't know if they still serve basil as usual, but anyway I'm glad it's at Simonopetritiko.
