I’ve always heard Greeks wish eachother happy first of the month. What does this mean?

A very big part of my life,I always wish Kalllo Mina to all my friends in Elllada....it is built inside my DNA....such a nice way to live in an island since 1994.....even Kalo misi meri.....Kallo apoyevma... something which I would never forget... Yasou apo mena from ThailandIt is always a good luck tradition for Greeks in Greece and across the world on the first day of a new month to say "Kalo Mina" or have a great month (to wish for luck for a healthy and happy new month).
I love this tradition of saying Kalo Mina. One of my favorite thigns about Greek culture is that everyone is so kind and welcoming. It's something that every culture should adoptA very big part of my life,I always wish Kalllo Mina to all my friends in Elllada....it is built inside my DNA....such a nice way to live in an island since 1994.....even Kalo misi meri.....Kallo apoyevma... something which I would never forget...

Feelings are priceless..good month[Kallo Mina],a good week[Kalley Dhomadha],a good day[Kalley Mera], good afternoon [Kallo misi MERI], good evening[Kallo Apoyevma].....Good night [Kalley Nikta]>>>>..see the masculinity and femininity in the day....I learnt this living with the Greek community in Mykonos,the island people..Khorianez....as they call them.... before the high rollers and big time tourism came into being[I was there from,1994].....the island was just a handful of hotels.... they were Sheppards, in my opinion there is no significance of being polite, neighbourly, loving, caring and being kind to another.....it only exists in Greek culture as I have not heard of it anywhere else... It is what it Is....[I will ask my many Greek friends later on]...I have traveled extensively... Love to hear what others here have to say....

It's nice you got to spend time on the island before it was ruined with tourism. I will never visit Mykonos now that tourism has destroyed the island. One could now argue that the island is no longer Greek.Feelings are priceless..good month[Kallo Mina],a good week[Kalley Dhomadha],a good day[Kalley Mera], good afternoon [Kallo misi MERI], good evening[Kallo Apoyevma].....Good night [Kalley Nikta]>>>>..see the masculinity and femininity in the day....I learnt this living with the Greek community in Mykonos,the island people..Khorianez....as they call them.... before the high rollers and big time tourism came into being[I was there from,1994].....the island was just a handful of hotels.... they were Sheppards, in my opinion there is no significance of being polite, neighbourly, loving, caring and being kind to another.....it only exists in Greek culture as I have not heard of it anywhere else...

Totally agree...not Greek at all and it's really a shame. I look at some vintage travel posters and videos when Mykonos was truly Greek and it looks amazing. Shame it can't be like that anymoreIt's nice you got to spend time on the island before it was ruined with tourism. I will never visit Mykonos now that tourism has destroyed the island.
