Who dances it: Everyone

A dance from Samos in the style of the syrtos, also called "samiotikos", danced at Carnival and at gatherings. Dancers form two lines inside the circle, which merge into one and split again at set points in the song. The name comes from the line "lay bay leaves and flowers", linked to the Samian poet Sideris Zisimou.
