Greece National Day 2024

Google Dooles 25.03.2024 06:00  Date: March 25, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Independence Day in Greece! On this day in 1821, the Greek people rose against the Ottoman Empire to reclaim their freedom. To commemorate the holiday, towns and villages nationwide host parades as hundreds gather in central Athens to watch a military march filled with triumphant brass music and whistling crowds waving the national flag — like the one depicted in today’s artwork. This event in Athens is a sight to behold, with marchers dressed in white fustanellas , red fez hats with black tassels, and leather sandals decorated with pom-poms. Many Greeks continue celebrating throughout the day by getting together with loved ones. They may enjoy traditional dishes like bakaliaros skordalia, a fried cod paired with creamy garlic sauce — and a tasty culinary tribute to the country’s coastal heritage. Happy National Day, Greece!
