Greece is a Southern European country that is famous for its immemorial history and rich cultural heritage stretching far back to Ancient Greek Civilization. The country is usually called the ‘Cradle of Western Civilization,’ because the influence of ancient Greek philosophers, such as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, etc, was great upon the development of Western ideas and cultures. One of the most famous Greek remains is Acropolis, designated as UNESCO’s World Heritage. Acropolis is located in Athens, the Capital of the country, with other ancient ruins such as the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Nike Shrine of Athens, etc. In Athens, there is also a sports stadium where the first modern Olympic was opened. The ‘Athens National Museum of Archeology’ holds numerous art pieces from the ancient Greek era. Greece has a lot of mountains. Among these mountains, Mt. Olympos, which is known to be the place where the gods from Greek mythology lived, and Mt. Parnassos, where the Delphi shrine is located, are famous. The Delphi shrine is known as a place where Apollo gave out his oracle. Along with the shipping industry, tourism is the core axis of Greek economy today.
