The Heart of Greek Culture
No national celebration defines Greece more fully than Orthodox Easter. The midnight Resurrection service, candlelit, incense-filled, the ancient liturgy unchanged since Byzantium, is one of the most profoundly moving experiences available to any traveller. The lamb roasting the following day, the red eggs, the family around the table: these are traditions that predate every other European Easter custom.
FFGR Greece Easter Programmes
Athens: The Anastasi service at the Cathedral of Athens (Syntagma Square), followed by lamb and midnight feasting at a family estate in Attica. Chauffeur between all locations. Cyclades: The island Easter in Mykonos or Paros, where the lantern procession winds through the whitewashed streets at midnight. Mountain Village: An immersive Easter in a Peloponnese or Epirus mountain village, the most traditional and moving version of all.
