Greece also has one autonomous region - Aion Oros (Holy Mountain) in the area of Mount Athos. It is a monastic state governed by a council of representatives from 20 Mount Athos monasteries. Real self-government exists at the level of nomes and smaller entities - municipalities. The municipality is headed by the mayor, and the nome is headed by the governor.

Slide 6

Economy Advantages: one of the most important European tourist centers. Large volume of agricultural exports. Shipping companies have the largest merchant fleet in the world. Weaknesses: large government debts. Private initiative did not develop until recently due to high bank interest rates and bureaucracy. A large percentage of the public sector of the economy, a developed shadow economy. Loss of jobs, their transfer to neighboring countries of the former Eastern Bloc with cheap labor.

Slide 7

Religion Article 3 of the Greek Constitution states: The dominant religion in Greece is the religion of the Eastern Orthodox Church of Christ. The absolute majority of the country's believers (98%, according to 2006 data) are members of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Slide 8

Culture The culture of Greece has been formed over many thousands of years, starting from the time of the Minoan civilization, the formation took place during Classical Greece and Greece under Roman rule. The Ottoman yoke also had an impact on the culture of the Greeks, mainly slowing down the active development of ancient Greek culture. But even during the Greek Revolution, great works of literature, music, and painting were created.

Slide 9

Geography of Greece Greece is located in the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula and on the islands adjacent to it and the coast of Asia Minor and covers an area of 131,994 km². It borders Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey. It is washed by the Mediterranean Sea, including the Ionian and Aegean seas, and the southern coast of Crete by the Libyan Sea. Greece includes about 2 thousand islands, which account for almost 20% of the entire country. The territory of Greece can be divided into three parts.

Slide 10

The first part is Mainland Greece, which includes Macedonia (Florina, Pella), Thrace (Rhodope, Kavala, Epirus (Thesprotia, Preveza, Thessaly) (Larissa, Magnesia and Central Greece (Phthiotis, Phocis, Attica). Also geographically this region can be attributed to the Ionian Islands;

Slide 11

The second part of the Peloponnese is the largest peninsula of Greece and the center of the most ancient civilization of Europe, includes the nomes of Arcadia, Laconia, Messinia, etc. The famous Corinth Canal, dug by a French company for the Greek state in the 19th century, is also located here; islands of the Aegean Sea, the largest of which are Crete - the largest island

Slide 12

The third part of the Eighth in Europe (8259 km²) and Euboea - the second largest, after Crete, island of Greece (3654 km²), connected to the continent by a bridge across the Euripus Strait, as well as Lesvos (1630 km²), located off the coast of Turkey. There are also many groups of small islands - the Northern Sporades, Cyclades, Dodecanese.

Slide 13

Relief. Olympus. The Greek landscape is an alternation of rocky, usually treeless mountains, densely populated valleys, numerous islands, straits and bays. Picturesque cliffs, beaches, exotic grottoes provide enormous opportunities for seaside recreation and mountain tourism. The highest point in Greece is Mount Olympus (2917 m). Pindus, Parnassus, the mountain range of Central Greece and Taygetos also rise above 2000 meters. There are few plains, they are concentrated in the eastern half of the country, with the exception of the Peloponnese, where plains predominate on the west coast.

Slide 14

Climate The climate of Greece can be divided into three types: Mediterranean Alpine temperate, each of which affects a strictly defined area.

Slide 15

Mediterranean The Mediterranean type of climate is characterized by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The Cyclades, Dodecanese, Crete, eastern Peloponnese and part of Central Greece are located in this type of climate. Temperatures here do not often reach record highs, and in winter, even the Cyclades and Dodecanese Islands can sometimes experience snow during the winter months. Meteors. Central Greece

Slide 16

Alpine The Alpine type of climate is more typical for the mountainous regions of the country: Epirus, Central Greece, Western Macedonia, part of Thessaly, as well as the nomes of Achaea, Arcadia and Laconia.

Slide 17

Temperate Eastern Macedonia and Thrace can be classified as temperate climate regions, with relatively cold and wet winters and hot, dry summers. Athens is located in a transition zone where two types of climates meet: Mediterranean and temperate. The northern part of Athens has a temperate climate, while the central and southern regions have Mediterranean climate characteristics.

Slide 18

Rivers of Greece Large river systems could not form on the narrow and mountainous Greek peninsula. Mountain rivers predominate, short, stormy, with picturesque rapids and waterfalls, often flowing to the sea in narrow canyons. The longest river in Greece is Aljakmon (more than 300 km). Other large rivers are Evros, Nestos, Strymon, Vardar, Acheloos. Rivers are not suitable for navigation, but play a fairly important role as sources of energy.

Slide 19

Lakes In Greece there are over 20 lakes with an area of 10-100 km². The largest and deepest of them are of tectonic origin. These include lakes Trichonis (95.5 km²), Volvi (75.6 km²), Vegoritis (72.5 km²). There are many karst lakes. They are usually small and feed mainly on groundwater. The largest of them is Ioannina (22 km²).

Slide 20

Islands Greece includes more than 2000 islands, from large (Crete, Euboea) to tiny (Patmos, Chrysi, Kastellorizo). They account for about 20% of the entire Greek territory.

Slide 21

The Ionian Islands island groups are located in the Ionian Sea, off the western coast of Greece. The largest island is Kefalonia. North Aegean Islands - located in the north of the Aegean Sea, off the coast of Turkey. The largest island is Lesvos. The Northern Sporades and the island of Euboea are located off the eastern coast of Greece. The Cyclades are located in the center of the Aegean Sea. Center of the ancient developed Cycladic culture. There are mainly small islands here: Andros, Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini. The Dodecanese is a group of islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, off the coast of Turkey. sometimes they are also called the Southern Sporades. It is an important tourism center in Greece. The largest island is Rhodes. Crete is the largest island of Greece. Center of ancient Cretan civilization. Near the island there are many small satellite islands (Chrisi, etc.). From the south the island is washed by the Libyan Sea.

Slide 22

Minerals Greece does not have significant reserves of any minerals. The most common and mined is lignite, or slightly carbonized brown coal. It is the main fuel resource of Greece. At the end of the 20th century, minor oil and gas reserves were discovered in the Aegean Sea. They are being developed. Greece is relatively rich in ore minerals. Among them are iron, manganese, nickel, chromium, copper and polymetallic ores. In Attica, near the city of Lavrion, silver and lead have been mined since the times of Ancient Athens. Sulfide and nickel ores are mined in Thrace. The world's largest emery deposit is located on the island of Naxos. Pumice is being mined on a large scale on the islands of Santorini and Nisyros. Since these are islands of volcanic origin, there were frequent volcanic eruptions, which led to the formation of this material. Various building materials are mined in the Cyclades: marble, granite, limestone and sandstone. There are significant reserves of bauxite, or aluminum ore. According to geologists, about 650 million tons lie in the depths of Greece. this valuable ore, which makes Greece one of the largest miners in Europe.

Slide 23

Flora More than 5,000 plant species are common in Greece. The most common small plants and shrubs in Greece are maquis and freegana. Pine forests are often found on the Halkidiki peninsula. Cypress and plane trees are common. Some are several thousand years old. Olive is very common - one of the most valuable trees in Greece and the entire Mediterranean. In general, the poor vegetation of Greece is explained by the wide distribution of goats in Ancient Greece, which ate the bark of trees, as a result of which they died, and small shoots were simply trampled down. There is even a saying: “Greece was eaten by goats.”

The most numerous populations of large animals are the brown bear, jackal, fox, lynx and wild boar. Many species of animals are listed in the Red Book, among them: the Mediterranean sea turtle and the monk seal.
The most abundant reptiles in Greece are snakes and lizards. They are the least sensitive to the hot climate of this country.
Among the birds you can most often see are wild ducks, kingfishers and partridges, as well as predators - owls, eagles and kites.
There are many seagulls in the coastal areas, and in the waters of Greece there is a huge variety of shellfish and fish, although the stocks of the latter have decreased significantly in recent times.

Crete

Ancient Greece. The island of Crete is mentioned in many Greek myths. The frescoes of Crete are some of the most beautiful examples of painting. The results of excavations in the ancient Greek city of Mycenae are very similar to the finds in Crete. Only life there was harsher, more military. The fortress was surrounded by huge walls. Excavations in Mycenae were carried out by the famous amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Reconstruction. -

The capital of Greece is Athens, one of the oldest cities in the world, located in a bowl-shaped valley on the western coast of Attica, surrounded by the mountains of Aigaleo, Parnitha, Pendeli and Hymetos (Imitos). The city itself is built somewhat chaotically and, due to its location in the intermountain basin, has a rather difficult ecological situation, but its beautiful ancient monuments and excellent museums attract millions of tourists here. The center of Athens is considered to be the Acropolis and Lycabettos (Lykabettos) hills, from which the city began more than 6 thousand years ago. The Acropolis of Athens is a symbol of ancient Greece. Already during the Mycenaean era (1600-1000 BC), a royal palace was built on the top of this 155-meter rocky hill, surrounded by a Cyclopean wall (4.5 m thick), which, however, did not save the city from numerous destructions. The structures that have survived to this day were built mainly in the 5th century. BC e. The entrance to the Acropolis was the monumental portal Propyleion (447-432 BC). The pearl of the Acropolis is considered to be the Parthenon (5th century BC) - the temple of Athena Parthenos, which is a unique architectural structure - it was designed in such a way that its different-sized columns and the curvature of the seemingly flat structures give this huge building amazing lightness and proportionality. The colonnade (“peristyle”) of 46 columns and the famous Parthenon frieze (now kept in the British Museum) set off the beautiful sculptural groups by the great Phidias, most of which have not survived to this day and are known only from copies. Throughout its history, the Parthenon was both a Christian temple and a gunpowder warehouse, and only in the 19th century. partial restoration of this unique monument began, which is still ongoing. The Pegille Theater (2nd century BC) has also been restored, where festivals are now held and performances by ancient authors are staged, next to which lie the ruins of the more ancient Theater of Dionysus.
