As you already most of you know I live in an island named Salamina.
It's a big island near Piraeus, with 90.000 habitants.
The thing you don't know is that my island has a nickname!
It's Koulouri!
"Koulouri" is the greek word for a bun.
And if you watch the shape of my island you 'll see clearly that it's like a bun!

This is Koulouri of old times...
...and this is today's photo.
Our traditional costumes are richly decorated with gold coins and needlework with gold threads.They consists of three different dresses which overlap each other.
That's why the costumes are very heavy!

lovely post marina - do people salamina call the island koulouri (so are you a koulouriani?) or is it a joke?!?
Thank you for a very good informative post which I enjoyed reading.
Cool map! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all the information! I must say that your English is very good and you are right to write in English, because you meet far more people if you all speak the same languages.
Lovely photos and history Marina, looking forward to more.

I learned a lot today, Marina! I'm off now to explore your link.

How many coins does one cloth have?

Fascinating Marina, we learn so much each Wednesday!
Thank you for your very informative post.
Those costumes must be very heavy but they are beautiful.
Bear((( )))
Beautiful and detailed dresses and a lovely island. :)
Help choose a new name for my blog here!
Nice photos Marina !
See You later.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing us about your place and culture. :) I like the traditional dress a lot!
Thanks for the geography lesson.
Does a lot of the ordinary people own a costume like that? I bet it makes nice sound when you move, with all those coins!
This was an interesting post and I love learning all the different things from ABC Wednesday.
The costumes do certainly look heavy. They would be difficult to dance in , I would think.
Oh, this is very nice :-) and I learned a lot tonight
What a difference between then and now. Interesting item, about the clothes too. Do you have a traditional costume too ?
Thank you for sharing. The clothes are bautiful!
Sorry I don't see the bun but in water I can make out what looks like a person with a hat.
Those clothing sure looks hot.
Thanks for stopping in.
Hello Dear Marina,
These traditional dresses are so beautiful! And looking so Balkanic!
I visited Piraeus years ago but wasn't aware of your beautiful island. It was a classic Athens - Piraeus trip. If life allows me to travel to Greece again, I will not miss to visit "Koulouri"! :-)
Friendly greetings from Turkey,
Müge
Hallo marina, this was a very interesting post about your island. I liked the picture with the lonewome shepheard best - it's so romantic!
Have a nice week!
