On <strong data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"763\">December 24th<\/strong>, early in the morning, children go door to door singing carols.

The very first Christmas tree in Greece was introduced in <strong data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1583\">1833<\/strong> by King Otto of Bavaria. Today, of course, Christmas trees are everywhere \u2014 but Greece has its own beautiful symbol too: <strong data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1727\">the Christmas boat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1946\">Especially on the islands, families traditionally decorated a small boat to honor the country\u2019s deep connection to the sea. As a seafaring nation, Greece naturally blended the Christmas spirit with maritime heritage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1948\" data-end=\"2164\">In recent years, you\u2019ll even see decorated boats appearing in Athens and other mainland towns, bringing this charming tradition back into the spotlight.<br data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2103\" \/>To learn more about the Christmas boat tradition, .<a href=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/nl\/greek-traditional-christmas-boat\/\">\u00a0click here.<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26217\" src=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/christmas-boat1.jpg\" alt=\"greek christmas boat\" width=\"319\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/christmas-boat1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/christmas-boat1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/christmas-boat1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\">New Year<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"91\">New Year\u2019s Traditions in Greece<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"93\" data-end=\"310\">Just like Christmas, <strong data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"132\">New Year\u2019s Eve<\/strong> is very much a family celebration in Greece.
