Countdown to Independence Day
What is Greek Independence Day?
25 March marks the start of the 1821 War of Independence and, on the same day, the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. A military parade in Athens and school parades across the country honour the national holiday, and bakaliaros with skordalia (fried cod with garlic sauce) is the traditional dish. It is a mandatory public holiday for all sectors.
