The Boston Marathon Annual Wreath Ceremony
Every year, the Boston Athletic Association receives four gold wreaths, cut from olive trees of the city of Marathon, as a symbolic gift from the people of Greece. The olive wreath tradition represents all the indispensable ideals for which the citizens-soldiers fought in Marathon over 2,500 years ago: freedom, individual dignity, and the power of democracy, all of which remain relevant today.

Greek Wine Club
Greek wine and wine making is as ancient as the columns that line the Parthenon. Archaeologists have uncovered wine making artifacts from Greece that date as far back as 1600 BC, as the area played an enormous role in wine trade. We can even credit the Greeks with establishing an appellation system to ensure quality and place of origin.
GreekSisters.com
GreekSisters.com is made up of sisters Joanna and Caroline as well as their brother Ari. Joanna and Caroline are the heart and soul of the site while Ari is the technical brains behind the scenes. Coming from a close-knit family, we enjoy working together as well as arguing with each other. If we ever stream our creative process online, we’d have one heck of a reality show! But for now, browse our site and become part of the family!
