The sun shines and the flowers blossom. The temperature rises and nothing can keep us indoors any more! Spring is here and it brings us a whole new set of beautiful sentiments…happiness, love and joy all around.

There is nothing better than to get closer to the nature which is calling us. Now is the best time as ever to enjoy landscapes of authentic Greek beauty, as long as we don’t forget to wear our “March’ bracelet! According to the Greek traditions, our bracelet will keep us safe from the hot rays of the March sun. A tradition that has been around for centuries and connotes to the beginning of the Spring season.  

To make your own March bracelet, you will need: 

A pair of scissors and 2 long pieces of thick thread in red and white colour. 

and this is how to make it:

1. Take the two pieces of thread and place them side by side

2. Tie a knot on one end and begin to weave it until all the thread is used up. At the end tie yet another knot to secure it.

Your “March” bracelet is ready to wear!
