    Greek Wedding Traditions Roundup

    It's not called stolisma. Stolisma just means "decorations" and it's when the family just decorates the house before the wedding. That said, you are right about what you're describing, but the word is wrong. As for whether it is still done, it's still done at every Greek wedding (in Greece). To...

    Learning Greek While in Mykonos?

    Find someone in Greece looking to learn English and teach each other. Most Greek language apps are terrible, and sites like duolingo aren't very good either. Check out kypros.org if you're serious. It'll start you from the very basics and take you to advanced Greek, and it's free. You first...

    Netflix Show about Alexander the Great

    I saw it. It was good. There was a lot of controversy in Greece about the scenes of him kissing another guy - it's the obvious woke bs. Other than that, it's a pretty good show. Only nitpick i have is that they didn't consult anyone on how to speak Greek. There was an instance when I would not...

    Phyllo for savory Greek dishes?

    I'm not really sure? Phyllo can be used however you want. For siropiasta (dishes made with syrup), you tend to see a really thin dough, but siropiasta are not the only sweet foods made with phyllo. Bougatsa is a sweet food made with phylo and it's usually thicker than what you might see with...
