For the success of this event, there were 30 people who helped cook the meat, 150 kilos of charcoal and 300 kilos of meat, which was used to break the record.
The chairman from the Chamber of Commerce of Viotia said this was a huge event for Livadia, with global interest. “Now the small town of Livadia was heard worldwide, we broke the Guinness record and we are proud of it,” he said.
