Fustanella
The Fustanella is a traditional garment worn by men in Greece, particularly associated with the Greek War of Independence. It resembles a pleated skirt and is typically made from white cotton or wool. The Fustanella is characterized by its distinctive folds, which can number up to 400, symbolizing the 400 years of Ottoman rule over Greece.
This attire is often worn during cultural celebrations and national holidays, showcasing Greek heritage. The Fustanella is commonly paired with a sash and traditional shoes called tsarouchia, which have a distinctive pom-pom at the toe. It remains a symbol of Greek identity and pride.
