Zeibekiko-Christos Shakallis/Agapios Agapiou- Elisee Greek Nightclub-London 2017

Plate smashing is a Greek custom involving the smashing of plates or glasses during celebratory occasions.In 1969 was banned to the great disappointment of Greeks and foreign tourists alike. While it is no longer officially allowed at Greek nightclubs, it still happens occasionally. For private celebrations such as weddings, modern Greeks may purchase specially-produced plaster plates, which are less expensive and dangerous, while being more easily broken. Another modern variation on the custom is for diners at small Greek restaurants or tavernas to buy trays of flowers that they can throw at singers and each other.
