🇬🇷 March 25 marks Greek Independence Day, commemorating the beginning of the Greek War of Independence in 1821.

History: This revolution started with the Philikí Etaireía, a secret group formed in Odessa that aimed to free Greece from Ottoman rule. The uprising began when Alexander Ypsilantis led a small force into Moldavia, followed by revolts across the Peloponnese and other parts of Greece. By 1822, independence was declared, though internal conflicts and foreign threats posed major challenges.

Support from European powers—Britain, France, and Russia—was critical, especially at the Battle of Navarino in 1827, where the allied fleets destroyed the Ottoman-Egyptian navy. Eventually, the Treaty of Constantinople in 1832 established Greece as an independent monarchy under international protection.

This holiday is also observed alongside a major religious event—the Annunciation—making March 25 significant both historically and spiritually. 🇬🇷

📖 Patmos: A Destination of History and Nature

Patmos is known for its religious significance, as the place where John the Evangelist wrote the Book of Revelation. Over time, it has also become a destination for those who appreciate nature and quiet surroundings.

The island’s landscape includes hills, volcanic terrain, and a coastline with small coves. Visitors can explore Chora, a medieval town surrounding the Monastery of St. John, and the Cave of the Apocalypse, both UNESCO-listed sites.

🏛️ Skala, the island’s port, offers fresh seafood and historical buildings from the Italian administration. The northern and southern parts of the island feature small villages, traditional churches, and scenic beaches.

Nearby islets like Arkoi provide an opportunity for a short trip to secluded shores and quiet waters.

Plan your visit with My Odyssey Travel and experience the cultural and natural richness of Patmos.

Nisyros is one of the lesser-known gems of the Aegean, filled with history, culture, and volcanic landscapes 🌋.

The island’s villages, like Mandraki, Pali, Emporios, and Nikia, each have their own character, from colorful houses to narrow alleys and ancient castles. Walking through these villages, you’ll see buildings made of volcanic rock, traditional squares, and views stretching over the caldera.

The active volcano, the youngest in Greece, has shaped both the land and the local traditions. Festivals, local delicacies, and warm hospitality make every visit to Nisyros feel special 🍷. Don’t forget to stop by the Volcanological Museum to learn about the island’s unique geology and hike its scenic trails.

Looking for an authentic Greek island experience? Plan your trip now with us and explore Nisyros!

🏞️ Lake Doxa is an artificial lake in the mountainous region of Korinthia, surrounded by the peaks of Zireia and Chelmos.

A narrow strip of land extends into the water, leading to Agios Fanourios church. Nearby, on the wooded mountainside, is the historic monastery of Agios Georgios, known for its fortress-like design and rose-flavored spoon sweet offered by monks.

The Feneos plateau, at 850m elevation, is home to nine stone-built villages that add character to the landscape.

Visitors can walk or cycle along the quiet road that circles the lake while taking in the mountain views. 🚴‍♂️ The area is a popular destination for day trips, offering a combination of nature and cultural heritage.

🇬🇷 The Classic Greek Taverna Chair: A Seat for Connection

In Greece, the taverna is much more than a place to eat—it’s a place to connect. Unlike fast food chairs designed for quick exits, the classic Greek taverna chair is built for comfort and community. 🪑 Its soft rush seat, supportive back, and stable base make it ideal for leaning in to share food, laughter, and stories with friends and family.

Tavernas are spaces where time slows down. You’ll find people enjoying ouzo, playing cards, or a round of tavli (backgammon) for hours on end. 🍷🎲 Their history stretches back to ancient Greece, where they were known as kapeleion and were as much a part of daily life as they are today.

📍 Experience the warm, timeless atmosphere of a Greek taverna for yourself. Let us help you plan your perfect Greek getaway!

🌿 From Tree to Table: The Olive Oil Story

In Greece, the olive harvest season starts in late October and runs through February. Farmers, and even visitors, take part in this ancient tradition, shaking olives from trees into nets on the ground.

It’s hard work, but it all pays off when the freshly harvested olives are taken to the mill to produce that golden, flavorful olive oil. 🫒✨

Did you know Greece is home to 120 million olive trees? For over 4,000 years, olive oil has been more than just a staple—it's a symbol of peace, wisdom, and health. Hippocrates himself praised its benefits, recommending it for longevity and over 60 health issues!

Experience the process, connect with history, and taste the tradition in every drop of pure Greek olive oil. 💛

☕️ In Greece, coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a way of life.

As you walk the streets of Athens, you’ll notice people lingering over their coffee, sometimes for hours. Greek coffee culture is deeply rooted in tradition, starting with the iconic “Ellinikos Kafes”, also known as Greek coffee. This rich and thick coffee is brewed in a small copper pot called a “briki”, and served in a tiny cup. Don’t rush through it—sip it slowly and enjoy every drop! Watch out for the thick residue at the bottom, which you should leave behind.

Did you know Greek coffee was once called Turkish coffee? That changed in 1974, following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and sparked a shift toward calling it Greek coffee. 🇬🇷

Fast forward to modern times, and the iced freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino have become Greek summer staples. These refreshing drinks are made with strong shots of espresso, shaken, and poured over ice, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.

And let’s not forget the frappé, Greece’s accidental coffee invention from the 1957 World Expo, which brought a frothy, instant coffee revolution! Though frappé is slowly being replaced by more sophisticated brews, it still holds a special place in Greek coffee culture.

Discover the coffee culture of Athens.

A Glimpse of Athens in Transition 🌿

At the turn of the 19th century, Athens was a city rising from the ashes of conflict and reclaiming its historical glory. After the withdrawal of the Ottoman forces in 1833, this ancient city, once home to just 400 houses around the Acropolis, began its transformation into the vibrant capital we know today.

🏛️ Under the reign of King Othon, Athens was reborn as the heart of modern Greece. This new era brought architectural treasures like the University of Athens, the National Library, and the Old Royal Palace. By the late 1800s, Athens hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896, cementing its place on the global stage.

From a humble population of 4,000, to the bustling city it became after the influx of Greek refugees from Asia Minor in 1922, Athens stands as a testament to resilience and rebirth. 🇬🇷

Step into history every time you visit this timeless city. Let the spirit of Athens guide your journey.

From ancient Greek myths to the vibrant countryside, citrus fruits have been intertwined with life and culture in Greece for centuries. 🍋 🍊 In mythology, the golden apples of the Garden of Hesperides were thought to grant immortality, a tale that lingers in every orange and lemon tree found in the land today.

The fragrance of oranges from Argos, lemons from Poros, and tangerines from Chios not only brings back memories of childhood but also weaves together the essence of Greek tradition.
