Certainly! In Greece, during the Lenten season leading up to Easter, many people, including those who are not vegetarians, follow a tradition of abstaining from certain foods, including meat and dairy. This period of fasting is known as "Sarakosti" or Lent. As a result, you'll find a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes available in Athens during this time.
One specific tradition during this period is the consumption of "lagana" bread on Clean Monday, which marks the end of Sarakosti. Lagana is a type of flatbread. It's commonly served with olives, vegetables, and other vegetarian accompaniments.
To experience these vegetarian delicacies, you can visit local tavernas, restaurants, and bakeries in Athens that embrace the Lenten traditions. You can also have a look at our Festivals in Greece: Greek National Holidays and Celebrations in the section 'Easter". For more information, please contact us via email at info@kidslovefreece.com.
