Regarded as the cradle of Western Civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Greece has a rich and storied history dating back thousands of years.
Officially known as the Hellenic Republic, Greece is located in southern Europe at the Crossroads of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. With around 2,000 islands within its borders, Greece is a mountainous country which is very much in tune with the Aegean waters surrounding it. Naturally, shipping and trade is a big industry for the Greeks, as is tourism, since it is a major destination for travelers worldwide. The history on this country extends to the time before Christ and is littered with major names and creations along the way. Did you know that literature, political science, drama, philosophy, modern scientific principles, and the Olympics all got their starts in Greece? The country is a template for the building of all future countries and societies. Today, Greece is a politically-stable, safe and beautiful country with much to explore. From the urban scene of Athens to the touristy islands like Mykonos and a plethora of temples and well preserved archeological sites the Hellenic Republic has something for everyone, with a great climate to boot. __________ This description has been edited by 6 people.

Just wanted to see how video from my camera worked. It did! So enjoy the view from my room at 6 am in the morning. It was a charming hotel and I will miss it dearly. I have enjoyed all the luxury that a hotel of this class offers. Now to head to the economy places where I will have to rough it a bit. It is a good thing I have a suitcase full of hair products and lotions. You never know what you will need.

As early as the 11th century monks sought solitude in the caves in the sides of the mountains. In the 14th century the hermitages became monasteries. St Athonasius from Mt Athos founde...
