Working on the theme of the sea we couldn't leave music and poetry aside.
It is true that the sea and the sun,  as well as the hardships our country has been through all these centuries have a strong impact on literature and poetry, on the songs and music of the Greek people.

"To trelovaporo - The crazy boat" is one of our favourite poems written by the poet of the Aegean Sea and the sun, Odysseas Elytis. It is part of the collection , "The Sun , the Sovereign sun" written in 1971.
The crazy boat stands for Greece, travelling through time and history in "rough seas" wars,disasters, poverty; but which always overcomes difficulties with the help of the Sun, representing both God's help and the intellectual skills of its people, their inner power and persistence to sail to safe and calm harbours.


The 5th grade pupils, under the instruction of their Music teacher, Mrs.Anastasia Nikolakakis, learnt this song and present it to you here.
