This is a treasure rescued from each one of us that we seek the maintenance of the past. A tradition expressed through folk art, festivals, folk songs, dances, costume, manners and customs. Here we deal with the Costume:


The traditional Greek costume characterizes and distinguishes the people of each region.
It is built to impress and not to show off her body. The rich materials, the variety in their embroidery, and the decoration in sewing, are creating a personal stamp of each region. The costumes are divided into several categories.


Depending on the terrain:

the mountains, lowland, island

Depending on the social situation

In bridal, celebration, daily

Depending on the age

A daughter, bride, married and widowed elderly

Depending on the external parts of the costume
