I love to watch some of the Greek sports channels when in Greece. There's nothing like a proper Greek broadcast for "football" - watching it in the US and English language just isn't the same.

I'd be willing to pay money for a service. Is there a way to get Greek TV in the United States that just has mostly the sports channels?
 
Here are some ideas. I have never been in this situation so I did some research:

Streaming Services - One of the most convenient options for watching Greek soccer games from the US is through streaming services. The most popular are Fubo TV, ESPN+, and Sling TV. Most of these services offer packages for Greek sports channels such as the famous Nova Sports channel. You can also check with your cable provider or satellite TV provider if they carry international sports channels with Greek games.

Greek TV Channels Online - Another option to watch Greek soccer games in the US is through Greek TV channels online. These channels such as ERT Sports, Nova Sports 1-7, and Cosmote Sport offer live streams of games. Some channels might require a subscription while others offer free streams.

Social Media - Some Greek soccer teams or channels have live streaming options via their social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can follow your favorite teams and channels on these platforms to stay updated and watch games.

WATCH.GREEKTV.COM - This service provides live streams of Greek TV channels, including popular sport channels. It is a great way to stay connected with Greek TV and watch soccer games. The service requires a monthly subscription fee.
 

List of Cretan Dances?

I will be attending a Cretan wedding and am curious about the traditional Cretan dances! I know the dances are slightly different and I want to learn some. I don't know the names of the dances so that I can look them up. I did some research, though. Are any of these dances common at these weddings?
  • Pentozali
  • Sousta
  • Siganos
  • Chaniotis
There's a dance the wedding party typically does in Crete. Which dance is that?

What is kefi exactly?

I have always found the concept of kefi to be intriguing, and I would like to learn more about it from those familiar or even vaguely aware of this notion. From what little I understand, kefi seems to embody a unique blend of joy, spirit, and passion, deeply ingrained in Greek culture. It's more than just a word; it's a lifestyle, a form of expression, an unbridled enthusiasm for life.

However, I'm curious to know about the deeper nuances and applications of kefi. How does kefi manifest in day-to-day life, not just in Greece, but wherever one might find joy and enthusiasm? Is it something that can be consciously cultivated, or does it spontaneously bloom in moments of happiness and high spirits? It seems like it really permeates the culture, especially in Greece.

Where did plate smashing come from?

When Greeks feel happy and are dancing and have a good time, they've been known to smash plates. I've seen it! It's not just a tourist thing - but they don't do it much because I am sure they won't want to smash their expensive dish wear.

I was just at a wedding and they had purchased plates to smash - so basically they were cheap throwaway plates that actually smashed really well. I almost wonder if they were made for the purpose...

It got me thinking - where did this tradition come from? Does anyone know?

Navigating Greek Lenten Fasting - Advice?

Lent is here and all my friends and family have been asking "what are you doing for lent this year?" They're all "giving something up" but I decided I wanted to fast. I would love your help and advice because this is the first time I am doing things in a stricter way. I resolve to see it through!

It's supposed to be a a time of reflection, purification, and preparation for the celebration of Easter, and the diet plays a significant part in this spiritual journey. I don't want to get so obsessed with the "rules" that I lose myself in them and forget why I am fasting int he first place.

Thanks in advance!
