We are in the first month of spring, but today there are nothing but gray clouds in Athens.
Still, that didn’t stop me from wearing my “Martaki”. It’s the second thing that comes to mind when March arrives. First, we think of spring getting closer, and then there’s our favorite “Martaki.” I couldn’t wait to wear it, so I put it on the moment I got up!
Greece has plenty of ancient customs that date back centuries. One of them is the March bracelet (Martaki) made of white and red threads.
