GREEKS ARE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL

 Here is all the useful information you need to know for the festivities.

 

Two Easters ago, most Greeks celebrated their first-ever low-key Easter in lockdown.  Since as a group, we don’t tend to favor minimalism when it comes to celebrations. lt may be the last holiday of its kind.  Shouting: “Christos Anesti” to our neighbors from Greek balconies trying somehow to fit a  lamb into our flat area may be an experience to remember, but we do prefer to retreat to our country homes and create large gatherings until morning during this special period of the year. In 1921, many got back to their villages, although travel was prohibited by COVID-19 regulations, kept the normally big events become small. This year, on the other hand, few people are expected to stay at home, as now there are no limits to the size of gatherings anymore.

 

Once again, the islands and the countryside are about to come alive as people return to their summer homes for the first time of the year and nature is at its most verdant.  This is the best time to visit Greece.

 

This year, the Holy Week falls on April 18^th – 25^th
