Greece, lies like a giant and beautiful reminder to the world of a time when pragmatism and scholarliness were held as the ideal.
Man, it is not just that, it is the way the country is so perfectly situated at the hub of the world. It borders the Slavonic thrust of Eastern Europe whilst sharing the Ionian with Italy. Greece is a land where the Arabian and African winds mingle whilst the roots of European thought in its most pragmatic form were nurtured.
The Apollonian ideals and the Dionysian revelry in life join here, where the land meets the sea and where the warm air is redolent with Jasmine in the early summer evenings.
