ἄνθρωπος μέτρον

 OPA!!! lets celebrate greece and brake some plates

Greece is a country with a particularly rich and ancient history. 

The Classical Period of Greece History (6th -4th centuries BC) was the Golden Age and the most famous world wide; during this period lived the greatest philosophers and mathematicians.

Greeks are particularly proud of their culture and stick to it with particular passion, feeling that their culture is a definition of their national and ethnic belonging. Traditions, religion, music, language, food and wines are the major composants of Greece Culture and constitute.

The cuisine of has influences from Italian, Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisine. Greek cuisine incorporates fresh ingredients into a variety of local dishes such as moussaka, stifado and spanakopita. Throughout people often enjoy eating from small dishes.  Too much elaboration is generally considered to be against the hearty spirit of the Greek cuisine.

Greeks do not brake plates to release their frustration from work. It is a celebration tradition in Greece. Whenever something or someone is celebrated they will have a feast and brake some plates. They normally gather in a circle and brake some plates in a very elegant and subtle way while shouting OPA! 

The food, beautiful people and their inspiring traditions, I just love greece!
