Vegetation and variations
in climate are dependent on geographical regions. The multiplicity
of plants is exceptional with some 6,000 indigenous species having
been recorded so far. Over 250 of these flourish in Crete alone.
This impressive abundance of
flora and fauna arises from Greece's unique geographical location
between Europe and Africa.
The plants which are associated with the joys of
life can be seen in the countless vineyards, which can be found throughout
the country.
The trees are of medium height
and vary from pine, oak, fir, olive and mulberry trees to citrus fruit
and palm trees.
The climate is for
the most part, mediterranean with mild winters. The subtropical, warm
summers are cooled by a system of seasonal breezes, popularly called
the "Meltemia".
But the outstanding feature of
Greece's climate is the sunshine. On average, the sun shines
for 3,000 hours per year !

Athens |
| The capital of Greece took its name from
the goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. This
is where democracy was born. This is where that marvel of architecture,
the Parthenon was created. This is where art became inseparable
from life, and where Pericles gave the Funerary Speech, that monument
of the spoken word.Athens is the symbol of freedom, art and democracy
in the conscience of the civilised world. In Athens the memory
never fades. Wherever you stand, wherever you turn, the city's
long and rich history will be alive in front of you.In the centre
of town there are two hills, the Acropolis with the monuments
from the age of Pericles and Lycabetus with the picturesque chapel
of Ag. Giorgis.Athens today is a modern city, busy and vibrant.
Modern but also romantic, with lively streets and squares, shop
windows a riot of colours, and narrow streets in neighbourhoods
such as Plaka and Mets.In the countless shops, the visitor will
find whatever he may need. In the tavernas and restaurants he
can enjoy any taste sensation. In the night-clubs, pubs, discos
and bars he can drink and dance the night away, because in Athens,
the fun never stops. |
