About Greece

History in brief

Greece’s story spans the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, the classical city-states of Athens and Sparta, the Hellenistic era under Alexander the Great, and the Byzantine centuries that followed. These eras shaped philosophy, democracy, theater, architecture, and science.

Culture

Greek culture blends ancient traditions with vibrant modern life — from philoxenia (hospitality) to regional cuisine and music. Festivals, archaeological museums, and living communities around historic sites bring the past into the present.
