Greece achieved its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829. During the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, it gradually added neighboring islands and territories, most with Greek-speaking populations. Following the defeat of Communist rebels in 1949, Greece joined NATO in 1952. A military dictatorship, which in 1967 suspended many political liberties and forced the king to flee the country, lasted seven years. Democratic elections in 1974 and a referendum created a parliamentary republic and abolished the monarchy; Greece joined the European Community or EC in 1981 (which became the EU in 1992).. LOCATION: Southern Europe, bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, between Albania and Turkey LOCATION: Temperate; mild, wet winters; hot, dry summers BORDERS: Albania 282 km, Bulgaria 494 km, Turkey 206 km, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 246 km Modern Greece is a sum of an extraordinary diversity of influences – Romans, Arabs, Franks, Venetians, Slavs, Albanians, Turks and Italians, to say nothing of the great Byzantine Empire. The arts still play an integral part in Greek life and have done since ancient times. In summer, Greek dramas are staged in the ancient theatres where they were originally performed. One of the unforgettable aspects of a holiday in Greece has to be island-hopping in the Aegean and Ionian seas. All with their own unique character, the Greek islands are a fusion of stone, sunlight and sparkling sea. The arid Mani region of the Peloponnese sports the country’s best array of wildflowers – crocuses, anemones, irises, poppies, lilies, rock roses and cyclamens abound.
