Many fraditions characterise this village, related to the religious ceremonies. Among them, the “wedding” calls for a three-day celebration, during which people enjoy a meal of chicken, offered by the neighbours to the newly - married couple, washed down with “souma”, a local drink of Kourounia village.
At the wedding of G. Sgouros, who is now the oldest resident, 80 Kgs of “souma” were drunk (1930).
At the last weekend before Lent, a bagpipe was brought to the village by musicians from Ag. Georgios Sikousis or Lithi, which was used to entertain the men of Avgonima only. They used to call at every house in the village and finally gather at the pub in the square.
On the night previous to Resurrection day, a huge fire is made outside St. George ’s church on the main square, on which Juda’s dummy is burnt. Lots of visitors come to the village on the night to see the fire and congregate at the Church at 10 p.m.
At Christmas, villagers used to take slaughtering their pigs turns in, then distribute the meat to all the other families of the village. In this way, everyone had his share of pork for a long period.
