Greece - Culture Smart! The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture Buhayer Constantine Paperback
When you enter Greece's mountainous peninsula, with its long coastline and unique archipelago, you are returning to the cradle of Western civilization. The Greek character is a product of the landscape. And while the ancient Greeks fashioned our political, ethical, aesthetic, and scientific values, their descendants down the ages have continued to set trends and shape world events.
Their shared history and language formed the basis of a powerful world culture. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the physical features of the land forged the pronounced individuality and strong local patriotism of the warring city-states of antiquity. Today it is coming to terms with its recent economic and political upheavals.
The Greeks have repeatedly proved they can adjust and shift their expectations--the new generation knows the old ways have gone and is bracing itself for unpredictable challenges.
