Greek Culture

One could say that the history of Greece is very fascinating, and looking back into how Greece has evolved at each point in history, you will be amazed by how they overcame obstacles from invasions to internal conflicts, and how they have made a mark in the books of history.

If you live in Greece, would you like to have gargoyles on the roof of your house as well? And if you are a resident there or have learned quite a few things about the place, you would know that the white paint on the tree trunks is not meant to ward off evil like gargoyles are believed to be capable of.

Yamas! You might come across this several times during your visit to Greece. Even if the country has several ancient beliefs, the word “yamas” is not a black magic prayer. It is actually a kind of greeting, like “cheers”, and literally means “our health”.
