Greece - EλλάδαGreece is the southernmost of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula.
It is a land of mountains, sea and many islands.
Size 131.940 km2
population 10.964.020
The Greek flag
The Greek flag has 5 blue and 4 white stripes and a white cross. The five blue stripes stand for the word Freedom ( e-le-fthe-ri-a), while the four white stripes stand for the words or death ( i tha- na –tos) . So our flag means freedom or death.
Our National HymnThe Greek Anthem is based on the "Hymn to the Freedom", a large - 158 strophes - poem written by Dionysios Solomos, a distinguished poet from Zakynthos Island. The poem was inspired by the Greek Revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Empire. During 1828 the eminent musician from Kerkyra Island Nicolaos Mantzaros composed the music for the Solomos' Hymn.
Hymn to the Freedom
Ι recognize youby the dreadful edgeof Your sword.I recognize Your face,forcibly staring at the land.
From the sacred gravesof the slain GreeksYou rise, valiant again.Hail, Oh Hail, Liberty!
Ύμνος πρός την ΕλευθερίανΣε γνωρίζω απο την κόψη του σπαθιού την τρομερή σε γνωρίζω απο την όψη που με βιά μετράει τη γή Απ τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη, των Ελλήνων τα ιερά και σαν πρώτα αντρειωμένη, Χαίρε, Ώ χαίρε ελευθεριά!

A Greek recipe GREEK MOUSSAKA
INGREDIENTS (8-10 servings) 4 large eggplants
1 kg of lamb minced meat finely chopped
1 small onion thinly chopped2 cloves gillyflower
1 tablespoon of black raisins (optional)
1 clove cinnamon ½ tablespoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 ½ cup olive oil for frying
1 teaspoon salt
For the topping (option A) 2 tablespoons butter 3 – 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups fresh milk 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons grated cheese ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the topping (option B) ½ kg non sour yoghurt 3 well beaten eggs 1 tablespoon flour Salt Pepper Nutmeg (optional)
Mousaka (topping)
METHOD Cut the eggplants into slices and put them in salted water for 1 hour approximately. Remove eggplants from water and squeeze them so they drain the excess water. Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan with heavy bottom and fry the eggplants until soften without getting brown. Arrange them on a kitchen towel paper to absorb the excess olive oil. In a clean frying pan heat olive oil and sizzle the onion until it golden browns without getting burned. Add minced meat, stir constantly, add all spices, grated orange peel and raisins- provided that you use them- along with a bit of salt. Cook 4 – 5 minutes until all fluids are absorbed. Arrange eggplant slices on a medium size baking dish, sprinkle minced meat and continue with another layer of eggplants. Prepare béchamel sauce as follows: In a small saucepan melt butter, remove from the heat and add flour, stirring constantly with a wooden ladle till the mixture thickens. When the mush cools, add the beaten egg yolks. Add cold milk and place the saucepan in the heat, in low temperature, stirring constantly till it becomes a thick and homogeneous sauce. Sprinkle cheese and add a touch of salt and nutmeg and spoon the sauce over all. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated 180 degrees oven until the sauce golden browns. Served warm.
Mousaka method

Pictures from the museum
ColossusColossus of Rhodes , large statue of Helios, the sun god,
destroyed by an earthquake in antiquity. Consider one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the ancients, it was built in part by Chares of Lindus (Rhodes) between 292 and 280 B.C. Its bronze was taken from the machines and tools left behind by Demetrius I after his unsuccessful siege of Rhodes. According to legend, the 100 ft (30.5 m) statue stood astride the harbor and ships passed between its legs. In reality, it stood on a promontory overlooking the harbor, and the representational type is well known from images on coins of the same period.
In 1309 the Knights of Saint John conquered Rhodes and they built strong fortifications,
transforming it into a multinational medieval city
