Among the most ancient and fascinating of all Greek peoples, the Sarakatsanis are the legendary transhumant shepherds of the Balkans — a proud nomadic community whose extraordinarily pure Greek dialect, breathtaking embroidered costumes, and ancient pastoral way of life make them one of the most celebrated and cherished communities in the entire Hellenic world.
The Sarakatsanis are a proud Greek-speaking transhumant pastoral people of the Balkans whose ancient nomadic shepherd culture — with its magnificent hand-embroidered costumes recognized among the most beautiful folk art in all of Europe, its rich oral poetry and music tradition, and its fiercely preserved Greek Orthodox faith and community identity — is believed by many scholars to represent one of the oldest continuously Greek-speaking communities on earth, a living link to the ancient Hellenic pastoral world that has survived into the modern age with extraordinary pride and devotion.
