Today's Doodle recognizes Greece's independence from the Ottoman Empire. After 400 years of occupation, Greece National Day celebrates the hoisting of Greece’s blue and white flag into the sky as a declaration of its independence.
Greece commemorates the holiday with flag-day parades, speeches, and visits to memorial services. These festivities draw thousands of spectators who later enjoy traditional dishes like bakaliaros (fried hake) accompanied by a garlic and potato puree, called skordalia.
This important day in history marks the hard-won battle and observes Greece’s continued freedom for over 200 years.
Ζήτω η 25η Μαρτίου!
