Why not get a Villa in Greece, what a smashing idea, the great weather, the diet, the culture, and interesting architecuture. Plus a history that stretches back to the Greek era. Greek culture evolved over several thousand years, with its earliest known civilization being in the Mycenean and Minoan era, continuing to Classical Greece, the birth of the Hellenistic era and through a influence of the Roman Empire and its Greek Eastern successor the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Empire had a influence on Greek culture, but the Greek war of independence is credited for a revitalization of Greece and establishing a single sovereign single entity, of its multi faceted culture throughout the ages. It has produced great figures such as Plato, Socrates, and 300.
It is regarded as the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature, political science, major scientific and mathematic principles, and Western drama both tragedy and comedy. Greece has over 50 marinas and over 14,000 mooring places to provide such services as berths, fuel, water and electricity, telephony, and repairs. Some of the most developed and busiest marinas in Greece are just a few kilometres from the centre of Athens.
It has borders with Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria
to the north, and Turkey to the east. The Aegean Sea lies to the east and south
of mainland Greece, while the Ionian Sea lies to the west. Both parts of the Eastern
Mediterranean basin feature a vast number of islands.
