Mykonos' cosmopolitan character has
made it famous as an international tourist resort. However, even the
most unsuspicious visitor realizes immediately that Mykonos is not
only a crazy bon vivant but also a beautiful, picturesque island
with an all-white Hora (the main village) next to the crystal-clear
blue waters of the Aegean Sea. An island that enchants the visitor
with the golden, sandy beaches, the typical cycladic color, a
lively atmosphere, the friendly and easy-going people and the
endless relationship with the glorious past. The whole complex of
islands including Mykonos-Delos-Rhenia, has been officially
characterized as an area of exquisite natural beauty and, is protected
in accordance with special legislation in order to preserve the
unique natural and aesthetic beauty of the
landscape. The tourist who comes to
Mykonos, wherever he finds himself and despite the tourist
development, can enjoy a unique natural environment with indented
coasts, impressive rocks, old cottage houses, countless small and
secluded churches, huge windmills and tiny pigeon-lofts. All these
together with the clear atmosphere, the summer breeze, the colors -
light and dark blue, gray, white - explain why Mykonos has inspired
painters and photographers and has become the favorite holiday
resort for many socialites. Mykonos covers an area of approximately
85 km and it is situated almost in the middle, between Tinos and
Naxos and east of Syros where Ermoupolis, the capital of Cyclades is
situated. Mykonos population is 6,500 people but during the summer
period the number of tourists visiting the island is multiplied. |

Greek Customs and Traditions
in America: |
|
Greek Marriage - Excerpts from: |
|
 |
Greek weddings sparkle. There is joy, laughter, loud bouzouki music,
mountains of food and coiling lines of boisterous dancers. In the
United States, most of the social customs surrounding the wedding
festivities are American, with a few Greek customs here and there.
However, the wedding ceremony itself remains pristinely Greek Orthodox,
unchanged for centuries. It incorporates human joy with the joy of heaven
when two people are united in holy matrimony.
Blessing of the Rings
In the first part of the service, the couple becomes betrothed by the
church. The priest blesses the rings and touches the foreheads of the
bride and groom with them. Making the sign of the cross above their heads
with the rings, he proclaims to each of them "The servant of God (name) in
the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy spirit." The rings are
put on the right hands, and the official sponsor-koumbaros (male) or
koumbara (female), exchanges the rings three times, symbolizing the
complimentary role of husband and wife................ |
