My plans for this summer include travelling to Paros for the first time, eating grandma's okra dishes in Thessaly, and attending M'era Luna festival once I return to Germany. 🍑 Hope the next months are filled with joy for you too!

Paros is wild and you´ll have an amazing time, it´s very picturesque as well, μπάμιες are precious and few people do appreciate this gift, and M'era Luna festival seems otherwordly and totally you✨🌙 What a summer!

( fyi now I ship you + karagouna folkwear)

#thank youu [ the only sure things about my summer are the steady plans for Crete and Peloponnese as every year]#I might meet up with some friends down in Crete but Idk if I'm happy or too embarassed and scared to be seen in summer attire #probably the latter #but yea this summer's plans are humble for I have to save my euros for Erasmus- what a convenient excuse for someone who hates summer!

Ancient Greeks wore simple garments that draped over their bodies. The chiton and peplos were both simple outfits made from one-piece rectangles of fabric, with holes cut out for the head. The peplos was sleeveless, while the chiton covered part of the arms. Over this, people could wear a cloak called a himation. These outfits were usually made of wool, a fabric used frequently in Greek clothing, due to the prevalence of sheep farming in Greece and the country's surprisingly cool winters. Linen was also traditionally used for clothing worn during the hot Mediterranean summers.

One example of a traditional outfit for women is the karagouna. This traditional wedding dress from Central Greece is very colorful and can be quite heavy. Like some other traditional Greek costumes, it includes many layers, starting with a black-fringed white underdress. Over that, women wear a few different coats, starting with an embroidered wool coat, followed by a long white sleeveless coat and then another embroidered waistcoat. This is all topped by a red apron. A woman wearing a karagouna will also don a head kerchief and chains of gold coins across her forehead and bosom to signify wealth.

Traditional costumes have their place, but so do traditional customs!
