Greece, or for us Hellas, is a small country of south Europe, with population of 10 millions people. We call ourselves Hellenes, using our ancient name, not Greeks! Athens is the capital of Greece, a very historic city, the birthplace of Democracy (= the power of the people) and Drama Theater.
Athens is famous for her Acropolis and the temple of Parthenon.
Another big and historic city of North Greek is Thessalonica, the capital of Macedonia’s area, which is named after Alexander’s sister name. Hellas is also the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
On 25th of March we celebrate our Independence Day: on 25th of March in 1821, the Greeks have started their revolution for Liberty and Independence against the Ottomans. The Greek Revolution has inspired the great French painter E. Delacroix.
In Greece there are many unique islands, such as Crete, Rhodes, Chios, Mykonos and Santorini, ideal destinations for
