meraki (μεράκι), is a word that, in modern Greek, is used to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love – when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be – a mix of love and style and enjoyment. It is the passion for perfectionism and the obsession, the ultimate personal care, during a creation.
