Greece

📖 The Scoop

Greece is a source of linguistic and literary tradition that spans millennia and two of its writers have been awarded Nobel Prizes for Literature within the last thirty years. The proverbial crossroads of civilisations, religions and continents, Greece has also nurtured an adventurous, risk-taking, seafaring people who now control the largest merchant fleet in the world. Having become involved in all the major 20th-century European conflicts and having suffered severely from the self-inflicted wounds of a devastating civil war, Greece has emerged as a modern European nation and a full member of international bodies such as the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
