The Seven Chairs Rule.

 

The Seven Chairs Rule.

 
 
The embodiment of the idea of ​​siga-siga is the rule of seven chairs. It represents the desire for leisure and convenience as part of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
 
Siga siga is a Greek phrase meaning "slowly, slowly," which promotes a relaxed, unhurried approach to life. As a health and anti-stress philosophy, it encourages mindfulness, taking time to enjoy simple pleasures, and reducing anxiety by living at a slower pace. 
 
There is a tradition in Cyprus that to be really comfortable in his coffee shop a man needs seven chairs. One for his stick,one for his coffee, one for each am, one for each leg and one to sit on.
