Solidarity is what keeps many residents going on, he added.
"All residents of Mati have come closer and each one of us is trying to do something to help. This is very important," he said.
Eva, who had been living in Mati for five decades, told Xinhua that her family's summer holiday house was demolished, but she retains optimism that Mati will blossom again.
"I believe that quickly we will rebuild everything, because we want this with passion...Do not forget us...We need assistance from the state so that we can stand on our feet again like before. This is what we want," she said.
Voula accompanied a group of students from a music and dance school of the nearby settlement of Agia Marina to Mati for the Christmas tree lighting event.
"The first time I told them that we would visit Mati to sing, they were asking me 'where? The place where people have died?' They did not want to hear about it," she told Xinhua.
In the end, the children embraced the idea and rehearsed hard to lend a helping hand and play their part in efforts to revive Mati and spread hope and joy.
"It is significant to demonstrate that all together we can support each other," Voula said on behalf of the schoolchildren.
