The cave of Agia Sofia, Mylopotamos (13th century) on island of Kythira, Greece 🇬🇷

Inside the cave, there is a nice church with an open roof dedicated to Saint Sofia 🙏. A legend says that her dead body was found there and residents of Mylopotamos village built a chapel in 1875, to honor her.

This church has some holy icons and fine frescoes (dated 13th Century), such as fresco with figure of Agia Sofia (wisdom) and her three daughters (Love, Faith, and Hope) - Elpida (Hope), Pisti (Faith) and Agapi (Love), right at the entrance.

Some remains of early Christian era have also been found in the cave, indicating that Christian cults were held there.

GREEKTOWN in Chicago, Illinois 🇺🇸🇬🇷

The first Greeks in Chicago arrived as ship captains in the 1840s. When the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 occurred, there was a flood of Greeks who swarmed the Chicago area, and played a crucial part in rebuilding the city from the ground up. Many started out as food peddlers and, by natural progression, became restaurant owners.

Around the turn of the century, the Greeks concentrated around the Harrison, Blue Island and Halsted area, originally known as the as Greek Delta (Deltaîbut) but later re-named as Greektown. By 1930, Greektown had 30,000 first and second generation Greeks united by love of their homeland.

During the 1960s, Greektown was displaced by the Eisenhower Expressway and the University of Illinois at Chicago, forcing residents and businesses to move North along Halsted street to its current location along Halsted Street between Van Buren and Madison streets. Some Greeks at that time also were rising into the middle class and moving out to the suburbs. But their businesses, especially in the food industry, remained rooted in Greektown.

In 1968, the delicious “Flaming Saganaki Cheese” 🔥🧀 was invented in Chicago’s Greektown. In 1970, the “Taste of Greece” summer festival, a three-day fest along Halsted Street that celebrates Greek culture with food, live music and traditional dances, became an annual tradition.

In 1983, they opened the Hellenic Museum and Cultural Center, a museum dedicated to the Greek journey, from ancient times to the modern Greek American experience. In 2009 the museum re-branded itself the National Hellenic Museum and in 2011 the museum moved to its current, purpose built facility at 333 South Halsted Street, in the heart of Chicago's Greektown.

In 1996, with the Democratic National Convention coming to town, the city of Chicago recognized Greektown’s contribution to the city by pouring millions of dollars into street renovations and erecting traditional Greek temples and pavilions at the major intersections in Greektown.

NO FRIES! CHEEPS!!! 😂

In 1978, the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago along with Greek immigrants Sam Sianis and Charuchas were immortalized by Saturday Night Live’s John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Loraine Newman.

The Olympia Café was a fictional diner featured in a recurring Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch. The staff, led by John Belushi as Pete Dionisopoulos, were Greeks. Staff also included Bill Murray as Nico, a busboy who doesn't speak English, Dan Aykroyd as short-order cook George, and Sandy, a waitress played by Laraine Newman.

As various guest stars discovered (with a few exceptions), only three items on the long menu could actually be ordered successfully: the cheeseburger 🍔 (pronounced "cheeburger" by Belushi), chips (pronounced "cheeps"), and Pepsi. Attempts to order Coke (later Pepsi) were invariably met with the retort, "No Coke! Pepsi!" (or later on, "No Pepsi! Coke!") Likewise, those who ordered french fries got the response, "No fries! Cheeps!"

According to Don Novello, who penned the first Olympia Café sketch, the diner was based on the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago, when the owner Billy Goat Sianis and another Greek immigrant Bill Charuchas would entertain patrons by yelling out: “Try the double cheese! It’s the best! No fries, cheeps!”

1920’s - The Open Heart Coffeehouse (Kafeneio) in GreekTown, Salt Lake City, Utah. ❤️🇺🇸🇬🇷💙

Proprietor Michael J Katsanevas is standing in the picture. Katsanevas’ children founded the popular Crown Burgers in 1978 and now have eight locations in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, many Greek immigrants, especially from the island of Crete, came to Utah to work on the railroads, copper and coal mines. A large number settled in a section of Salt Lake City that became known as “Greek Town”. It was the economic, social, and residential center for thousands of Greeks who called Salt Lake their home.

As soon as many of the immigrants were financially able to go into business for themselves, they did so. Greeks became independent business owners at a disproportionately high rate in Salt Lake City, reflecting a pattern common across North America. Greek immigrants in Greek Town ran stores, newspapers, and other commercial enterprises. Many Greek-owned grocery stores sold foods from Greece, including cheese, olive oil, salt fish, and candy. Greek American-owned businesses provided services and goods for purchase to everyone in their cities and towns, not just Greek immigrants.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, many Greek immigrants, especially from the island of Crete, came to Utah to work on the railroads, copper and coal mines.

Working for the railroad was difficult, and the pay was not good. Greek immigrants lived in tents or railroad cars that did not offer much protection from the weather. Railroad laborers also did not see other people or their homes for months. Greek immigrant Utahns that were employed by the mine companies had jobs in the heaviest and hardest work; labor that demanded strength in large measure.

They immediately faced discrimination and were paid lower wages for extremely dangerous jobs. The Greek immigrants were often targeted by hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. That forced the Cretans, known for being rebellious, to organize and carry guns for self-defense. In 1918, the Cretans formed the Cretan Brotherhood of Minos in Salt Lake City, Utah.
