Summer shopping at the Cycladic Shop
If you reside in Greece and it's mid-July you know that means just one thing and one thing only: two months—August and September—of full-blown celebrations, jam-packed with name days, engagements & weddings (among other ceremonies), and all sorts of social calls are just around the corner. So
