GREEK FACTS
1. Greece is often considered to be the world’s first democracy
The Athenian Democracy was a system dating back to the fifth century B.C. It was a system of direct democracy, where citizens with voting-rights voted directly on legislation and executive bills. However, participation at this point was not open to all residents.
To vote, you had to be an adult and male citizen. So in other words, foreigners, women, and slaves had no votes.
2. One of the sunniest countries in the world
Did you know that the whole country has more than 250 days of sun on average? That’s more than 3000 sunny hours per year. Some islands even see around 300 days of sun per year!
3. Greek Food is world famous and delicious
Tzatziki, Feta Cheese, Moussaka, Gyros, Spanakopita, Souvlaki, Greek Salad, Calamari, Kleftiko and many more dishes are all Greek foods that you should try when you visit Greece.
4. 98% of the total population are ethnic greeks
So, almost everyone in Greece is an ethnic Greek, and the rest of the population are minorities, mainly from Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, and F.Y.R.O.M.
5. There are more than 2000 islands
That’s a lot of islands, but only 170 of them are populated. The other islands are uninhabited.
