Popular Superstitions 

The evil eye

The legacy of centuries of Ottoman invasion, the mati (literally the "eye") borders on the obsessive among the Greeks, who live in condtant fear of becoming matiasmeni (beeing hot by the eveil eye). People suffering from flu, nausea or colds, in particular often say they are matiasmeni. And so, to ward off any malediction they carry a small glass eye set in turquoise blue.

Open Air Cinemas 

A summer tradition and THE place to start your evening out, open air cinemas show the previous winter's hits in a friendly atmosphere. The screen looms above an area filled with tables and chairs, where spectators can have a drink while watching the film, which always has an interval!
