My Countryby Elena Katsanou (6th grade)

My name is Elena and I am twelve years old. I live in Sourpi, a village in Greece.

Greece is a very beautiful country and has got many islands. My country has got many mountains and there is sea all around. There are many islands and many tourists visit my country.

The weather is hot in the summer and all the people go to the sea for swimming. In winter it’s cold and people go skiing.

People in Greece are very friendly. We love the sea and the sun and we like eating! The Mediterranean cuisine is very famous!

I love Greece, because it has got a big history and many places to visit.

My Countryby Konstantina Filothodorou (6th grade)

My country is very beautiful and it is called Greece. Greece borders with Albania, Turkey, Bulgaria, the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea.

Greece has many mountains and plains. It has many beaches, too. The weather is very good. In summer it is very warm, but in winter it is cold and it sometimes snows.

Greeks are Mediterranean people. They are very hospitable and they are kind-hearted. They like good food and easy life.

In my opinion, Greece is a valuable country and it is very wealthy. Greece is small, but it is very powerful and it can achieve many things!

My Countryby Dimitris Bakos (6th grade)

My name is Dimitris and I am eleven years old. It is a Greek name, because my parents come from Greece and I live in Greece. The official name of my country is both Greece and Hellas and it includes Crete and all the islands in the Mediterranean around my country. Greece borders with Albania, F.Y.R.O.M., Bulgaria, Italy and Turkey.

The country is mostly mountainous in the east, north and western parts, but with plains and hills in the south. The whole country is surrounded by sea, with many islands in the south. There are also lakes and rivers throughout the country.

The weather is very hot in the summer time, but also very cold and wet in many parts. It rains and snows in autumn and winter.

The people of Greece are mostly local, but also multicultural from other countries and races, so here you can meet Albanians, Egyptians, Africans and more. They speak Greek and their own language, of course.

I think it’s an exciting and interesting country full of ancient history and hospitable people!

My Countryby Panagiotis Chrisikos (6th grade)

My country is not very big, but it is important, because its history starts many years ago. Many big personalities have visited Greece, because maybe they are interested in our people or customs. So, if somebody wants to visit Greece, he must know some things about it.

Firstly, the climate is mild with cold winters and warm summers. There are a lot of touristic islands which are full of people in the summers. In big cities children have fun in cafes or in clubs. In addition, there isn’t a village or city without a museum. Museums show the history of our country. Another important fact is that Greeks do not forget their customs. For example, Greece celebrates Christmas on December 25 th and Easter in April.

These are some of the things which a person must know before visiting Greece.

My Countryby Olga Karatza (6th grade)

Greece is a country which combines sea and mountains. It is located in south Europe and its neighbours are Albania, Bulgaria, Italy and Turkey.

It is a very beautiful country and there are many islands, rivers, lakes, as well as the Mediterranean Sea is all around Greece.

The climate is Mediterranean. In summers there is too much heat, that’s why we go on holidays to different Greek islands. The winters are mild and only in some cities the temperature drops below zero.

Greek people are happy, hospitable, respectful and self-confident, independent and, of course, we are proud of our Greek history, monuments, civilization, as well as of our breathtaking sights, like Acropolis, Parthenon, White Tower, Delphi and Knossos Palace.

Also, our traditional Greek cuisine is one of the best all over the world. The tourists love our famous dishes and drinks, such as ‘pastitsio’, feta cheese, ‘tzatziki’, ‘moussaka’, fish, ‘ouzo’, wines and the popular ‘tsipouro’.

That’s my great hometown. I’m proud of living here and, if there are people who haven’t visited Greece, this is their chance to do it!

Greece is a peninsula located in the southeastern part of Europe. The country is mostly mountainous and it has many lakes, rivers, mountains and many valleys. And one of the biggest mountains in Greece is Mount Olympus.
