Greece today is a small country in southeastern Europe. The population is approximately nine million, and the capital
city is Athens.
High mountains with rich, fertile land between them cover northern Greece. The hilly southern part is a peninsula called
the Peloponnesus. Hundreds of islands surround the mainland. The largest island is Crete.
No part of the nation is far from water. The Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea carved deep bays and gulfs into the long
coastline. Greece has been a seafaring nation for centuries, and Greece is very well-known for its shipping industry.
More than three thousand years ago, the Greek people developed a very sophisticated society. They had a great
civilization, one of the greatest that the Western world has ever seen. Greek architecture, thinking, and art influenced other
civilizations. Even the Greek language influenced other languages, including English. For example, the English words
alphabet, democracy, and arithmetic come from Greek.
Today Greece is one of the most popular nations with the tourists who visit Europe. Thousands of people are attracted
to the country because of its beautiful scenery, magnificent ancient buildings, and its excellent summer weather.

precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today
