The island of Delos has been uninhabited since the ancient times. In Greek mythology, it is considered to be the birthplace of Apollo. The island is full of ancient Greek history, and it now stands as an archeological site that people can visit near the island of Mykonos. In just about a week, there will be a concert which will bring musicians from around the world to hold a special concert on the island. I have my fingers crossed that we'll see more and more of these performances over time, and the tourists will be able to visit the site and see some more parts of modern Greek culture like this concert.

As far as I know, this concert was the first of its kind on an island full of ancient ruins and long considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I loved the moment when the concert featured Marshall Marcus's "Seventeen Bell Tolls for Peace and Sustainability. It was my favorite moment. I wouldn't say I like concerts because of too many people. When I was at a concert in Canada, there was just a huge crowd at the entrance, well, stanchions in canada are sold everywhere, but the organizers didn't think to put them at the entrance to at least somehow separate the crowd.

March 25th marks a significant celebration in Greece, but I realize my knowledge on its historical context is quite limited.
From what I understand, this day commemorates the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821, where Greece sought to end several centuries of Ottoman rule. However, I'm eager to learn more about the intricacies of this period, the key figures involved, and how the struggle for independence unfolded over time.
Additionally, I'd be interested in understanding how this day is celebrated across Greece today and whether any particular traditions are tied to it. For example, are there specific ceremonies, parades, or family traditions that uniquely mark this day in Greek culture?
