Greece is formed with a mainland and many islands which all surround Agean Sea(愛情海). Here I’d like to introduce the islands in Greece which I want to take a visit.
ARCHITECTURE
The islands of AgeanSeahave their own distinguish features. The Greece typical buildings are the houses which sunk deep into the volcanic soil, their whitewashed walls and blue domes sparkling in the sunlight like the buildings in the fairyland.
FOOD
The basic food materials of Greece are olive, olive oil, and bread. In Greece island, foods tent to be fresh sea food, pita or souvulaki are the necessary dishes which taste like BBQ.
Bread
The busiest shop in any Greek village is the local bakery. Bread was at one time the staple food of Greece and is still eaten at every meal, large hunks dipped in remaining sauce and olive oil, or coated with tsatziki (garlic-cucumber-yogurt dip), tarama salata (fish roe salad) or melitzana salata (eggplant salad). There is nothing better than going to a local bakery and buying a loaf of fresh village bread and eating it while it is still hot. There are also breads for different occasions. On Clean Monday, the first day of the 40 days of fasting before easter there is an unleavened bread sold on the streets. During Easter there is the famous bread with the red easter egg in the middle of it. Bread is a very important part of Greek religious services and I have seen my sister-in-law make sure every person in the village received a piece of the holy bread from her aunt's memorial service. lets not forget pita bread which every souvlaki is wrapped in, and paxamadia, the hard bread which is eaten at breakfast, dipped in hot milk or coffee, or found under the tomatoes, onions, feta and olives of the Cretan dakos salad. Also in the bread catagory are kalouria which are like skinny bagels and are the food for people on the run, sold on the street by venders on foot or with small carts.
LANGUAGE
There are several languages used in the country that may include English, Dutch, French and Italian. English is capable in Greece, but if foreign visitors would like to take public traffic tools like buses, they need to know the phoneme of Greek Alphabets in order to recognize the time chart.
CULTURE
Greece is an ancient country which exists over than 3000 years, therefore it full with abundant historic monuments and legends. The original place of Greece mythology- Athens, is the capital of Greece. It took its name from the ancient goddess Athena. It is thought the town to have at least a 3000 year old recorded history and this makes it one of the oldest cities in Europe. The city is known all over the world as the cradle of a great civilization and for the Acropolis. It is the place where the first political system of democracy, sciences and philosophy were born. Today, it is more of the commercial, cultural, financial, political and industrial center of Greece.
