Farmers in the rural area of Kozani, northern Greece, started harvesting “Krokos”, the local saffron produced by the crocus flower, one of the most important products of the region which have been cultivated for decades. 
Hundreds of farmers in the regions of Agia Paraskevi, Kesaria, Ano and Kato Platania Voiou, are found bending over their crops, collecting one-by-one the prized stems of the purple flower.
