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?
 
I have no idea, but I am interested because I love Greek dance! I found a video. I'd love to learn! Here's the video:

Greek Harvest Traditions?

I’ve been learning a lot about Greek culture recently and was curious about whether there are any specific traditions related to harvest time in Greece. I know that agriculture plays a big role in the country’s history, with olives, grapes, and other crops being essential to Greek life for centuries.

Are there any traditional festivals or rituals that mark the beginning or end of harvest season? Do certain regions have unique ways of celebrating the harvest? I’m especially interested in any customs around olive or grape harvesting, but would love to hear about anything involving other crops too.

If anyone has firsthand experience or knows of any specific harvest traditions in rural Greek villages or islands, I’d love to hear more! I think it’s fascinating how these practices often connect with local food, culture, and community life.

Tradition of Kallikantzaroi (Christmas Goblins)?

With the holiday season approaching, I’ve been thinking about some unique Christmas traditions I’ve come across, and one that really intrigues me is the Greek legend of the Kallikantzaroi—the mischievous Christmas goblins.

From what I understand, these goblins are said to come to the surface during the 12 days of Christmas, causing trouble and playing pranks, until they return underground on Epiphany. I’ve heard stories of people using special rituals, like burning incense or leaving out food, to ward them off.

Does anyone here know more about the origins of this tradition or how it’s celebrated in different parts of Greece? Are there specific regions where the legend is more prominent? Also, are there any fun family stories or modern twists people have added to the tradition?

Engagement Traditions in Greece?

I’m curious to learn more about traditional Greek engagement customs. Are there any specific rituals or celebrations that typically happen when a couple gets engaged in Greece?

I’ve heard of the “arravonas,” which I believe is a formal engagement ceremony where both families meet, and sometimes there’s an exchange of rings and blessings. Do people still do that today, or is it more of a past tradition?

Are there certain foods served during an engagement gathering? Do people bring gifts? And is it usually just close family, or a bigger celebration?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s experienced or witnessed a traditional Greek engagement—whether in Greece or the diaspora. Are there any regional variations? Do any of these customs still carry over into modern times?

Thanks in advance for sharing your stories or family traditions. There are some people in my family who are pretty close to being engaged (fingers crossed!)

What does Philoxenia mean to you?

I was trying to explain to someone today just how incredibly hospitable people in Greece are, and it hit me—this is philoxenia in action! For those who might not know, philoxenia literally means “friend to a stranger,” but it’s so much more than that. It’s about showing warmth, generosity, and respect to guests, often going above and beyond to make someone feel welcome.

I found it tough to put into words exactly what it means because it’s not just a concept—it’s something you feel when you experience it firsthand. Whether it’s someone sharing their food with you, helping you when you’re lost, or inviting you into their home, philoxenia is such a beautiful and unique part of Greek culture.

I’m curious, what are your thoughts on philoxenia?

Do Greeks have Christmas trees in their homes?

I’ve been learning about Greek Christmas traditions and noticed how rich and unique they are—like the karavaki (decorated boat) and the singing of kalanda (carols). It’s all so fascinating!

This got me wondering: do Greeks typically have Christmas trees in their homes, like many other countries do? If so, are they decorated in any special way that reflects Greek culture? Or are traditional decorations like the karavaki more common?

I’d also love to know if there are specific ornaments or symbols that hold special meaning during the Greek Christmas season. Also, how long do they keep the trees up if they do have them?
