What Else about Greece ?

•

Things which caught my eye during a three months trip in Athens (mostly). I though it could be intersting to share it considering the very specific feeling medias and tourism agencies are spreading about greece.

"A "mountza" (μούντζα ) (or moutza (μούτζα)) is the most traditional gesture of insult among Greeks which consists of extending all fingers of one or both hands and presenting the palm or palms towards the to-be-insulted person in a forward motion."

"Worry beads or kombolói, kompoloi (Greek: κομπολόι) is a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time in Greek and Cypriotculture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, including the Greek Orthodox komboskini, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose."

"The Popular Association – Golden Dawn, usually known simply as Golden Dawn (Greek: Χρυσή Αυγή, Chrysí Avgí is a far-right political party in Greece. Scholars and media have described it as neo-Nazi and fascist, though the group rejects these labels."
