I love to listen to Greek music. I usually just find music and playlists on YouTube but I am starting to get bored with what I can find there. Do you have any suggestions on where I can go to find free Greek music to stream? I like modern Greek music better than the old stuff, but honestly I like to listen to both kinds of Greek music.
 
I use spodify. They have great playlists both old and modern. You can make your own playlist and they make them for you. I pay for my spodify, for us it is well worth it because we listen to music all the time. They do have a free version with commercials.

I used the paid version of Spotify, as well. You can find just about anything! There are also some pre-made playlists focusing on Greek music.
 
There's an app on android called "Radio Greece FM Online" that has all of the radio stations in Greece... you'll find someone on one of those stations that you like.. the more modern stations are Athens DJ, sfera, ellinadiko fm, and Rythmos

Getting a Greek costume made?

I'm looking to have a traditional Greek costume made, and I want to ensure that it is as authentic and high-quality as possible.

It's for festival season but I don't know if I am in over my head. This could be anything from the iconic fustanella worn by men to the beautifully embroidered dresses seen in various regions across Greece. I’m open to suggestions on materials, designs, and specific regional styles that would make for a remarkable and authentic piece.

Could anyone here recommend a tailor or a shop—either within Greece or internationally—that specializes in creating traditional Greek clothing? It’s essential that they pay great attention to detail and use high-quality materials to capture the spirit and beauty of Greek traditional attire.

Additionally, if you have any advice on what specifics I should communicate to the tailor to ensure authenticity, or if you know of any resources where I could find patterns or detailed descriptions of traditional costumes, I would greatly appreciate it.

Greek Coffee Cup Readings Question

I’ve recently become fascinated by the tradition of Greek coffee cup readings (tasseography) and would love to learn how to do it myself. It seems like such a unique and insightful practice, but I’m not sure where to start.

Can anyone recommend good resources, books, or even online tutorials that could help me get started? I’m particularly interested in understanding the meanings behind different symbols and the overall process of interpreting a cup.

I asked one of my aunties and she said she makes it up! Based on her imagination and knowledge about the person. Well, I can certainly do that but is there more to it?

Advice for learning traditional dances for a Greek wedding?

I'm attending a Greek wedding soon, and I really want to join in on the traditional dancing! I've heard Greek dances like the Kalamatianos and Tsifteteli are integral parts of the celebration, and I don't want to feel out of place. I never really learned how to dance from my Americanized Greek family!

Does anyone have tips on the best way to learn these dances? Are there any specific online tutorials, classes, or YouTube channels you’d recommend? Also, what should I keep in mind in terms of dance etiquette at the wedding? Thanks so much!

Evil Eye Traditions?

I'm fascinated by the concept of the evil eye and its significance in different cultures. As I'm planning a trip to Greece, I'd love to learn more about the traditions and practices related to the evil eye there.

I've heard that it's a common belief in Greece, and that people wear blue eye charms to protect themselves. What other customs are associated with the evil eye?

If you have any personal experiences or stories related to the evil eye in Greece, I'd love to hear them. Any insights into regional variations or historical background would be greatly appreciated too! I love wearing jewelry with evil eye.
