Who would have thought that one day I'd be the shareholder of a local airline.....well here I am; proud as punch to announce my involvement with Skytrans Airline! One day I may even get around to getting my pilots licence.
During the so-called âGreek Dark Agesâ before the Archaic period, people lived scattered throughout Greece in small farming villages. As they grew larger, these villages began to evolve. Some built walls. Most built a marketplace (an agora) and a community meeting place.
An important theme in Greek history is the multiple identities of its civilization. Greece is both a Mediterranean country and a Balkan country. And, throughout its history, Greece has been a part of both the Near East and Western Europe. During the Bronze Age and again at the time of the Greek Renaissance of the eighth century B.C., Greece and the Near East were closely connected.
