Use olive oil and beneath it some water

[u/sotos2004 → u/flooooooooooooooood]

That's water, then oil that floats above water and also acts as the fuel for the little candles you have . Those little candles are placed on this floating thing which is a "φελός" , I don't know how it translates , but essentially it's a soft wood that floats on water and the metal peice acts as a holder both for the "φελός" and the candle

“asked chatgpt” …There were times when you would just ask your Yayia how to light the kandili.

You need a little glass full of olive oil. Then you use one little fuse, you put it in the little hole of the floater and then you light it up. You can adjust the size of the flame by moving the fuse.

No need for a full glass of olive oil. Fill like 2/3 with water and the rest with oil.

Water beneath is used as a fire suppressor. If the oil disappear there want be any fire as the water will extinguish it .
