Greek Independence Day, March 25
Each year on March 25, Greeks all over the world celebrate Greek Independence Day, which is a national holiday in Greece.
Today marks the 200th anniversary of Greek Independence Day.
This is when Greeks remember their long struggle against the Ottoman Empire, an effort that eventually leads to Greeceās independence. Today, in fact, marks the beginning of the Greek War for Independence, not the end.
