🇬🇷 A rocky peninsula and an archipelago at the south-east edge of Europe. Thousands of beaches across hundreds of islands under the warm Mediterranean sun… it’s no wonder that this country sees millions of visitors every year. But don’t be fooled by the tourist brochure. It can be argued that this land produced a people and culture that influenced the world beyond any other. This could only be GREECE.

🇬🇷 In the second part of my special presentation about this country I examine the geography of the mainland and islands, a look at the modern Greek state’s structure, the Greek economy and the Greek culture of today.
🇬🇷 In Part 1, I went into detail in the long history of Greece, from the Bronze Age, through the Archaic and Classical Age cultural apex, through the Roman conquest and Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Conquest and finally Greek independence and the modern Greek state:
🇬🇷 The geography of Greece is split into the mainland and islands. The mainland peninsula extends down from the Balkans, including Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Attica and the Peloponnese. The islands are made up of the Ionian group to the west, notably Corfu, Kefalonia and Zakynthos, while the Aegean sea to the east is home to the majority of islands, including Santorini, Rhodes and Crete.
🇬🇷 Greece is populated by the Greek people, the descendants of 5 millennia of Greeks living here, and in which the modern Greek language is spoken.
🇬🇷 The Greek economy is dominated by the service sector, most notably tourism and shipping, while agriculture in the form of olives, wine and cotton is distinct. Blessed by the Mediterranean climate of hot summer and thousands of beaches as well as a host of world famous archaeological sites such as the Parthenon and Acropolis of Athens, Delphi, Epidaurus and Knossos, it’s no wonder that Greece is one of the most visited countries in the world for tourism.
🇬🇷 Greek culture today is a blend of European and Middle Eastern influences with the Greek’s own unique take. Greek cuisine is world famous, having been exported in the Greek diaspora of the 19th and 20th centuries, and part of the healthy Mediterranean diet including olives and olive oil, feta cheese, greek yogurt etc. Greek music today has produced such world famous artists such as Demis Roussos, Nana Mouskouri and Oscar winning electronic music Pioneer, Vangelis.
