What do you know about Greece?

Greece is an ancient country with its own traditions and customs, and a week there is certainly not enough. We visited the mainland and will definitely return to the islands! In the meantime, here is a little bit of Greece in detail: 🇬🇷 17 million tourists visit this country every year, which is more than its population in total 🇬🇷 139 million olive trees grow in Greece and 75% of European cotton is grown 🇬🇷 people celebrate the “name day” of the saint whose name they bear, not their own birthday 🇬🇷 Greece has more than 2,000 islands, of which about 170 are inhabited. The largest is Crete 🇬🇷 Greeks do not wave with an open palm, it is considered an insult to show a palm with outstretched fingers. They wave with a clenched palm #greece
