 Ελλάς Hellas Greece
Greece (Greek: Ελλάδα [Ellada] or Ελλάς [Ellas]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Ελληνική Δημοκρατία [Eliniki Dimokratia]), is a country in Southeastern Europe, situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Albania, the F.Y.R.O.M. 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.
Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is heir to the heritages of classical Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman rule. Regarded as the cradle of western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, western literature, political science, major scientific principles and drama including both tragedy and comedy, Greece has a particularly long and eventful history and a cultural heritage considerably influential in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and fundamentally formative for the culture of Europe and what may be called the West.
