Greece The Land of Gods and Goddesses

Welcome to Greece, the cradle of Western civilization, the origin of drama and history, and philosophy, the birth place of democracy. The beautiful land that even the Gods decided to live here. it is hard to imagine what civilized life would be like today without the influence of ancient Greece. It also is hard to imagine what the world would be like without the geometry of Euclides or Pythagoras, the logic of Aristotle's, the unique architectural style which has influenced architects all over the world. Let us not forget also the Olympic games, with their spirit of world-peace and brotherhood, first conceived and organized by the Greeks or the Greek language which has enriched other languages with so many words and concepts like philanthropy, harmony, music, techne, sophistication, architecture, ecology and thousand others.

Variety is, in fact, the hallmark of the geographical landscape of Greece. On the other hand, there are high mountains and entire mountain ranges such as the Pindus range, Mount Olympus, and the mountains of Macedonia and Thrace intersected here and thereby a few valleys through which relatively small rivers flow. on the other hand, the endless lace work of the coast line produces a series of scenic surprises. It is these heavily indented shores which give Greece such rare beauty, unique blend of most beautiful Mediterranean landscape, overflowing history and culture and a people of great hospitality.
