Home | Tsiknopempti
Tsiknopempti, or "Shrove Thursday," is one of the most anticipated days of the Greek Carnival season. Celebrated on the second Thursday of the Carnival season, it’s a day dedicated to feasting on grilled meats, and the air is thick with the mouthwatering aroma of roasting pork, sausages, and souvlaki. The name "Tsiknopempti" comes from the word “tsikna”, meaning the smoky scent of cooking meat.
This vibrant celebration brings people together in a festive spirit, with families, friends, and neighbours gathering for impromptu street parties, barbecues, and costume parades. It's a day of indulgence before the fasting period of Lent, where every bite and every sip is savored. In Attica, the Greater Athens Region, and across the country, you'll find people dressed in elaborate costumes, dancing, and enjoying traditional music.
Whether in the heart of the city or in quieter towns, Tsiknopempti is a joyous occasion to embrace Greek culture, share laughter, and create memories. The smoky smell of grilled meat and the sound of music fill the air, making it a truly unforgettable experience!
Don’t forget to make your table reservations on time, as it usually is a busy day for restaurants and taverns everywhere!
