Greece lies at the meeting point of Asia, Africa and Europe. Inhabitants: c.11 million, probably more. 4 or 5 million are living in the capital area, Athens. Greeks of the diaspora are estimated to some millions. Coming to Greece? Best month to come is June or September: July and August can be too hot for you (occasional heat waves), and islands are packed (all 4 million Athenians spend their summer vacation there in August). Most greeks understand a bit of english, all you need in greek is: efkharee`sto (= thanks, I thank) ♪[efxariˈsto](1) and paraka`lo (='your welcome'♪ -answering to 'thank you'- or ='please? excuse me?'♪ -when you want to ask a question- ), if you wish to make the natives happy. (see LANGUAGE SECTION).
