Build your True Trip
Easter in Greece is undoubtedly the most celebrated event of the year! Traveling to Greece during Easter is a great opportunity to experience real authenticity and local traditions on an off-the-beaten path vacation that will uncover some unknown aspects of Greek culture. Easter traditions in Greece have a direct connection with the Orthodox faith and include exciting celebrations, local customs, and delicious culinary dishes.
Experience a sequence of events that will take over your senses and stimulate your emotions. You’ll be mesmerized by the aromas of the delicious Easter bread called ‘tsoureki’ and moved by the candlelit procession on Good Friday when the traditional ‘epitafios’, a wooden bier intricately decorated with flowers, is carried in a streets procession, just about everywhere across the country. Then, at midnight on Holy Saturday you’ll find yourself in a sea of Easter candles and colorful firework displays as the locals cheerfully celebrate the resurrection of Christ. On Easter Sunday, dive in to one of the most delicious traditional Greek meals you’ve ever tried! Crack some red eggs for good luck, and maybe even participate in a traditional Greek dance or two!
