Millions of tourists visit Greece
every year. Millions read about Greece, Greek philosophy, history etc. However,
most of these people, including Greeks, refer to the greatness of the ancient
Greek world. They only look into the past in order to understand the greatness
of the Greeks. Nevertheless, a small percentage or even no-one thinks about
modern Greece and what it can offer. Modern Greeks are capable of achieving
greatness, if given the chance. That is why the Greek people have had
victorious instances, such as the Olympic Games (1896 and 2004), winning the
Euro Cup (2004), Eurovision (2005) etc. Also in the field of science and
medicine, modern Greeks have contributed enormously. This inspiration is also
evident in Greece today. So, next time we visit Greece, let us also identify
the beauties and the greatness of the modern country and not only ancient
Greece.
