The funeral of Vagia Nestora was held on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at the Metropolitan Church of St. Nicholas in Kozani, following her tragic death in an arson attack on her home in Thessaloniki. The incident, described as a fatal attack involving explosive devices, resulted in significant public mourning.
Attendees at the service included family, friends, and several political figures, such as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and local officials. Nestora was remembered not only for her life but also as the mother of Afrodite Nestora, a prominent member of the New Democracy party, who attended the service despite having recently been discharged from the hospital after sustaining injuries in the same attack. The atmosphere at the funeral was filled with sorrow and remembrance, as mourners brought white flowers to honor her memory.
The family had requested that, instead of wreaths, donations be made to charitable organizations, reflecting their wish to honor Vagia's legacy. The investigation into the arson attack continues, with many in the community expressing their grief over the loss of a beloved figure.
