The celebrations, also known as "Pure Monday", mark the end of carnival season and the start of Lent.
It is a period of spiritual purification in preparation for the solemnity of Orthodox Easter.
Observers also fly kites, which have been an essential part of celebrations in the country for over a century.
Evidence of Easter-season kite-flying in Europe has been found by scholars to go as far back as the 17th century.
They are mostly likely symbolising raising a soul to God or Jesus’ resurrection, and many Greek people also consider it a desire to reach for the divine.
