Religious Traditions
Next to the Greek Orthodox Wedding, which is an important aspect in the Orthodox church, there are some other traditions connected with religion, and all of them have their importance.
Rocket War

Sani Festival
25 years. A pretty long time, isn't it? Well, that's how long the Sani Festival on Χαλκιδική (Chalkidiki) has already taken place. Back in 1992 when the festival had its premiere there was excitement, unavoidable stress and the ambition to keep going. It was a unique event in Greece at that time. Now, 25 years later, it is popular around the world with dedicated fans who can't wait for it to begin.
Spring Traditions
Like many people all around the world the Greeks are really happy when it's time to leave the winter behind and greet the spring. This is why they have some particular spring traditions - and I'm not talking about spring-cleaning.
