CRETE: 96-year-old yiayia dances like a teenager and goes viral (VIDEO)

A traditional Cretan dance by a yiayia (grandmother) at a festival in Greece's largest island has made the internet crazy.

Maria Mouloudaki showed the vigour for life she has in her heart and soul by dancing the Maleviziotiko, a traditional island dance.

Everyone on the dance floor encouraged her with claps, who, despite her many years, did not hesitate and even taught the younger ones how to dance the Maleviziotis.

"The years turn the hair white, but the opinion does not change! She's like a young miracle, even when she's old,' was the words of the organist while the grandmother was on the dance floor.
