Koliva and Soul Saturday : Greek Rural Traditions | Village Life ep.9

Join me on a journey through the vibrant traditions of the Greek countryside as we dive into the whirlwind of carnival season. From the spirited festivities of Smokey Thursday (Tsiknopempti) to the solemn observance of Soul Saturday (Psychosavato), we'll explore age-old customs and cherished rituals that define Greek village life. Indulge in the rich flavors of traditional Greek cuisine, from the hearty lachanodolmades to the sweet delights of Koliva and glyko tou koutaliou. Experience the warmth of community as we come together to share stories, laughter, and moments of reflection. Step into the heart of the village and immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Greek culture. The whole village community gathered up for this one, and I hope you enjoy every second of immersion into the life of a greek villager.
