The Greek on his page translates roughly to
Hydra: Carnival 2014—a river mirth became a parade of fun and joy. The traditional carnival of Hydra started by Votsi Square [in the center of town by the Raphalias Pharmacy], with lots of fun, joy, and music. The carnival parade follows a route through the picturesque streets of the island … spreading joy and cheer throughout the town. After stops [a various points along the route for refreshment,] the parade ends at Duskos Taverna, ” where the spree lasts until late in the evening.
