On October 28, 1940, a small nation showed the world the true meaning of courage. When faced with an impossible ultimatum from the Axis powers, Greece's response was one powerful, defiant word: "OXI" ("NO"). This "NO" marked Greece's entry into WWII, not as a victim, but as a nation willing to fight for its sovereignty and for liberty. Today, we honor the heroes of 1940. We remember their sacrifice and celebrate the enduring spirit of freedom. __ Στις 28 Οκτωβρίου 1940, ένα μικρό έθνος έδειξε σε

Crete, Chania 🇬🇷 October 28, 1940 - "Ohi Day" (National Anniversary of Greece) Every year on October 28, Greece celebrates one of the most meaningful days in its modern history. On this day in 1940, the Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected Mussolini's ultimatum demanding free passage for Axis troops through Greece. His simple "ΟΧΙ" ("No") led to the Greco-Italian War, where the Greek army resisted heroically against fascist forces in the mountains of Epirus. It became a symbol of cour

🇬🇷 October 28, 1940 — Oxi Day. In the quiet hours of that morning, the Italian ambassador presented an ultimatum to Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas: surrender and allow Axis troops to pass through Greece, or face war. Metaxas’ reply was brief, in French (the diplomatic language at the time) — “Alors, c’est la guerre.” (“Then it is war.”) That moment of defiance rippled through the nation. Within hours, Greeks poured into the streets shouting “ΟΧΙ!” — “NO!” No to surrender. No to tyranny.
