I have been looking for Greek Christmas music I can play when I have people over. I found some videos - do you guys have anything you can recommend?

I am having a lot of people over for different things, and thought it would be fun to add Greek music in the mix.

Here is what I found:



 
Here is the Greek Christmas carol, the kalanda:
 
I love all these resources - thanks for sharing them! I have played them a few times to get into the Christmas spirit!
 
Go to youtube and search "Χριστουγεννιάτικα τραγούδια" for general Christmas music.

If you want Christmas carols then search "τα κάλαντα των Χριστουγέννων"

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.

Gift Ideas for Staying at Someone's House in Greece Needed

Hi everyone! My partner and I are heading to Greece soon and will be staying at a friend’s house for a few days. We want to bring a thoughtful house gift as a token of our appreciation, but we’re not quite sure what would be most appropriate.

I know that hospitality is a big deal in Greek culture, so I want to make sure we get it right. Should we bring something from our home country, or is it better to buy something locally once we arrive in Greece? Are there any specific gifts that are considered especially thoughtful or traditional when staying in someone’s home?

We’d love to hear any suggestions or advice on what would be most appreciated by our Greek hosts. Thanks! Is it even appropriate to bring a gift?

Daily Life in the Villages?

I'm curious about daily life in Greek villages. What is it like to live in these rural areas? How do people typically spend their days? I'm interested in learning about their routines, social activities, and community events.

Also, how does village life differ from life in the cities? Are there specific traditions or customs that are more prevalent in the villages? I’d love to hear about local cuisine, any unique festivals, and how people maintain their homes and farms.

If anyone has personal experiences or insights into the rhythms of daily life in Greek villages, please share! I'm eager to understand more about this aspect of Greek culture and what makes village life special.

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 Wedding Traditions in Greece

I am helping someone plan a traditional Greek wedding. I'm not entirely sure where to start and would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have experience with Greek weddings.

What are some must-have traditions or customs that I should consider? I’ve heard about the Stefana (wedding crowns) and the Koufeta (sugar-coated almonds), but I’d love to know more about their significance and any other meaningful rituals. How do these traditions typically unfold during the ceremony and reception?

Additionally, any tips on how to blend these Greek elements with a more modern wedding style would be incredibly helpful. I want to create a beautiful fusion that respects tradition while still feeling contemporary.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!
