Easter is probably the most important holiday for the Greek people. It is not only a religious holiday but also an opportunity to celebrate the spring, enjoy the country side, eating the traditional roasted lamp and drinking with the family or friends.
The visitor will have a unique opportunity to feel the “difference in the air”, traveling around the country during the week before Easter.
The religious emotion is very strong as the ceremonies in the churches describe Jesus story to the cross, together with the local folklores. Do not miss the march around the villages starting from the church at Friday night (about 20:30) and the ceremony at the midnight of Saturday with the fireworks all around Greece. And no need to say anything about Sunday’s feast!
Sailing around the Greek islands during this week is also some an experience as you will take part to all these happenings!
The weather is usually very good, warm but not hot and the wind rarely stronger than 20 knots.
