Today we are going to tell you about the Greek tradition of VASILOPITA, the cake we cut and share on New Year’s Eve or Day. The vasilopita is usually a cake with a coin inside it.

If someone rings your doorbell early in the morning of 24, 31 December or 5 January, don’t think it’s a naughty neighbor determined to wake you up, it will probably be children singing the “calanda”, the Greek Christmas carols

Now that Christmas is just around the corner, it’s time we learnt some things about Greek customs and traditions. Today’s story is about KALIKANTZARI.

A small tale instead of wishes, or rather, as wishes:

Mischievous creatures !

the tradition of VASILOPITA

“Kalin imeran archondes” (“good day Lords”)

practical, user friendly, fun !

Our most ambitious plan is to combine excursions and outings with cooking and tasting…

Dearest friends and co-travellers on this crazy boat!…
