 Greece
is a country in south-eastern Europe, situated on the
southern end of the Balkan peninsula. It is bordered by
Bulgaria, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and
Albania to the north and by Turkey to the east. The Aegean
Sea lies to the east of mainland Greece (actually to the
south of the Greek periphery Eastern Macedonia and Thrace),
while the Ionian Sea lies to the west. Both parts of the
eastern Mediterranean basin, feature a vast number of
islands.
Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and
Africa. It is heir to the heritages of classical Greece,
the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman
rule[1]. Regarded as the cradle of western civilization
and being the birthplace of democracy,[2] Western philosophy,[3]
the Olympic Games, western literature, political science,
major scientific principles, and drama[4] (including both
tragedy and comedy), Greece has a particularly long and
eventful history and a cultural heritage considerably influential
in Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Today, Greece
is a developed country, member of the European Union since
1981 and a member of the Economic and Monetary Union of
the European Union since 2001. Athens, Thessaloniki, Piraeus
and Patra are the country's major cities.
