History of Greece

Greece lays claim to one of the world’s oldest recorded histories, stretching back to the Bronze Age civilizations of the Cyclades, Minoans on Crete, and Mycenaeans on the mainland. These early societies paved the way for the classical era of ancient Greece, a formative period marked by city-states like Athens, Sparta, and Corinth. Known for pioneering democracy, philosophy, theater, and the Olympic Games, classical Greece heavily influenced Western civilization through thinkers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The conquests of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE spread Hellenic culture across Egypt and into Asia, creating the vast Hellenistic world. Greece was later absorbed into the Roman Empire, and after its division, it became part of the Byzantine Empire, where Eastern Orthodox Christianity took root. This period witnessed flourishing art, mosaics, and theological scholarship. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 brought centuries of Ottoman rule to many Greek regions, inciting revolts and preserving Greek identity largely through the church and local traditions. The Greek War of Independence in the early 19th century led to the establishment of a modern Greek state by 1830. Throughout the 20th century, Greece endured wars, a monarchy that was eventually abolished, and periods of political turbulence, including a military junta from 1967 to 1974. Today, as a parliamentary republic and European Union member, Greece stands as both a custodian of an extraordinary ancient legacy and a living, dynamic culture that seamlessly melds the old with the new, captivating millions of visitors each year.

Diving into Greece's Nature

Greece’s natural scenery is a spectacular mosaic of azure seas, soaring mountains, and fertile plains, shaped by a climate that is both Mediterranean and alpine. The mainland boasts the formidable Pindus Range, often called the “spine of Greece,” with dramatic gorges such as Vikos—a canyon rivaling North America’s in depth. Mount Olympus, the legendary home of the Greek gods, rises majestically near the coast, drawing hikers eager to reach its mythic peaks. The Peloponnese region contains rugged mountains and hidden valleys, while the Mani peninsula offers stark landscapes dotted with tower houses and rocky shores. Much of Greece’s allure also lies in its islands—over 200 of them are inhabited—each one offering unique geological features and crystal-clear waters. Santorini’s volcanic caldera forms breathtaking cliffside views, while Crete’s Samaria Gorge invites adventurous treks through pine forests flanked by sheer cliffs. Zakynthos features the iconic Navagio Beach, a cove enclosed by towering limestone walls, accessible only by boat. Coastal wetlands like the Evros Delta serve as critical stopovers for migratory birds, reflecting Greece’s biological diversity. Across the mainland and islands, olive groves, pine forests, and winding coastal roads create scenes that merge timeless agriculture with coastal leisure. Whether exploring mythical mountains or discovering secluded beaches, Greece seamlessly blends its ancient history with spectacular natural vistas, making it a paradise for both relaxation and exploration.
