Chios Greece: The treasures of the classical period are but one of the facets of Greece. Its mountain and seaside scenery is varied and marvelous, and its islands, 500 of them, are a photographer's dream. Consider the inherent fascination in their names: Corfu, Cephalonia and Zanta, in the Ionian group; Cythera, center of the Aphrodite cult; Crete, the "grandfather of the West"; the Cy-clades, the Sporades, the Dodecanese, including Patmos, where John wrote the Apocalypse, and Fabulous Rhodes, a holiday paradise of today; Samos, chios greece, Lesbos, Lemnos and Samothrace. Perhaps these names—and many more ciy for inclusion—can best testify as to the reasons for a visit to Greece. This ancient land so recently reborn is definitely and strongly gaining in traveler interest.Decline of City-State Civilization (404-338 B. C.). Although the economy of Greece, badly shattered in the Peloponnesian War, staged a remarkable recovery in the 4th century B. c., it never regained the level of prosperity attained in the 5th century. Athens became once more the most important port in the Mediterranean, although it now faced competition from other expanding centers of commerce and industry (Corinth, Megara, Boeotia on the mainland; Rhodes, chios greece, Thasos in the Aegean). But the revival of commerce was accompanied by a sharp inflation of prices, widespread unemployment, and chronic food shortages.
In the prehistoric era ideas came to Greece from the Near East, and people came from the north; the amalgam laid the foundation for historical Greek culture. Aegean progress was slower than that of the Near East, partly because Greece did not provide as rich crops as the Nile and the Tigris-Euphrates did, and also be-rause Greece was subjected to several invasions from the north. Heolithie Period (6000-2800 B. C.). Man has Sved in Greece since Paleolithic times. Villages of the 7th millennium B. c. that did not make pottery have been found in Thessaly and Macedonia. |
