Description
When you enter Greece's mountainous peninsula, you are returning to the cradle of Western civilization. And while the ancient Greeks fashioned our political, ethical, aesthetic, and scientific values, their descendants down the ages have continued to shape world events.
The Greek character is a product of the landscape. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the physical features of the land forged the pronounced individuality and strong local patriotism of the warring city-states of antiquity. Their shared history and language formed the basis of a powerful world culture. Today it is forging new paths after overcoming economic and social upheaval.
This updated edition of Culture Smart! Greece equips you with essential insight into the values and attitudes of the people you will meet and how they go about their daily lives. The country' s food, festivals, and family lives are explored and practical advice offered on how to navigate unfamiliar situations.
