Greece Greeks and Cypriots opt for firecrackers without the bang
More environmentally friendly and better for animals: In Greece and Cyprus, "silent fireworks" are to be used at the turn of the year. Modern pyrotechnics offer unique rocket magic with all the popular effects, but without the noise pollution of traditional fireworks, according to the city administration of the Cypriot port city of Limassol. In Athens, in addition to the noiseless pyrotechnics, drones will also paint effects in the sky.

Most pets as well as stray cats, dogs and birds in the cities suffer mortal fears from the annual fireworks. Silent pyrotechnics can prevent this and also raise people's ecological and social awareness, according to the organizers. The fireworks contain fewer toxic materials and are therefore more environmentally friendly.
For noiseless pyrotechnics, fireworks manufacturers rely on chemical substances that generate less gas pressure and therefore less loud sound waves. Instead, the focus is on light and color effects.
