Today for Show and Tell Friday, I am going to show you a collection of cards. They are small in size, like a Marlboro packet, but they are full color and very detailed. They depict traditional folk costumes from many regions of Greece.
Top row, left to right: From the island of Chios, in the Aegean Sea, Eastern Greece. From Delphoi, central mainland Greece.Second row l to r: From the region of Macedonia, Northern Greece. From the region of Epirus, NW mainland Greece.
Bottom set, left to right: From the island of Crete, South Aegean sea. From the island of Rhodes, Eastern Aegean Sea. From the island of Corfu, Ionian Sea, Western Greece.
Bottom row, l to r: The Amalia, the national Greek costume par excellence. Originally created for the first Queen of Modern Greece, Amalia, assembling elements from various regional costumes. Another one from the region of Macedonia. And last, Attica, where Athens is situated.Thank you for stopping by and looking at my collection! With thanks to Kelli for being our wonderful host.

Thanks for sharing the traditional costumes of greece. It reminds me of when I was young; I belonged to 4-H and I remember that we were working on a float and each of us had to dress up in the costume of a different country...what's bad is that I can't even recall what country I represented! They always say the mind is the first to go!
Enjoy the first offical day of Spring!
