About The Ochi day

Ochi Day commemorates the Greek refusal to allow Axis forces to enter the country in 1940 during World War II. The national holiday honors the spirit of resistance and patriotism shown by the Greek people against occupation. It is celebrated annually with military parades, school marches, and the widespread display of the Greek flag.
