Greece

Santorini - Greece

As a country, Greece, one could say, comes as close to paradise as might be possible. There are some reasons to consider Greece very, very special. It is well known that the country was the cradle of European civilization. In Greece, all the big ideas first came into existence: Democracy, for once. Philosophy and science were also invented in Greece. At a time when most other Europeans were still living on trees (well, almost), Greece was already highly developed. The consequences of this can be seen until today: There is such a multitude of ancient monuments in Greece and this has a huge impact on the modern country's atmosphere.

And even at places where there are no actual monuments any more, it does become clear that the structure of towns, villages and even fields is still based on the ancient origins.

Greece's other big plus is its natural beauty. Of course, Greece is a Mediterranean country and mostly mountainous, and this quite naturally means wonderful landscapes for any place lucky enough to be located there. But Greece is especially blessed by the gods: Its coastline is infinitely more ragged than that of comparable countries and there are many islands of various sizes, so in Greece there are more beaches, more cliffs, more natural ports than you would expect from a country with that size.

In one word, there is more - sea. Furthermore, the country has the advantage of inhabitants that are warm-hearted, friendly and emotional, and still deeply in love with music, dance, poetry and everything that has to do with culture, including delicious food. Yes, Greece is a terrific place!

Greece has over eleven million inhabitants. Despite the omnipresence of its ancient past in today's Greece, it is now a very modern country. Now for some decades, the country has been enjoying political stability (although recently there were some anarchist riots in Athens, the capital, which caused a lot of upheaval).

So given its wonderful location, it is only natural that Greece would be very popular among foreigners, so many multi-national corporations have established their regional headquarters there. Greece has been a member of the European Union since 1981, introducing the Euro in January of 2002, and in terms of trade and industry, it is an important part of Europe. It borders on several countries, most of which have not yet joined the EU, which makes Greece a strategic outpost of United Europe. By the way, even the word "Europe" is originally Greek.
