[한국어 정보]
차로 15분 거리 파르나소스 산 중턱에 있는 아라호바 마을로 향했다. 아라호바 마을은 드라마 ‘태양의 후예’ 촬영지로 잘 알려진 마을이다. 마을에 들어서면 시계탑을 볼 수 있는데 저 시계탑 앞에서 드라마의 남녀 주인공이 진한 입맞춤을 했다. 이탑은 1860년 원래 교회 종탑으로 세워졌지만 1870년 대지진으로 무너졌다가 1966년 시계탑으로 재건되었다. “옛날에는 창고로 사용했었어요. 주로 치즈를 보관했죠. 그때는 전기가 없어서 냉장고 대용이었어요.” 아름다운 마을 풍경 때문에 관광객이 많을 거라 생각했는데 예상이 빗나갔다. 대부분의 상점도 문을 닫았다. “안녕하세요.” “안녕하세요.” “마을에 왜 사람들이 없어요?” “다들 축제에 가서 그래요. 성인 게오르기오스를 위한 축제를 해요. 그는 1824년에 이곳에서 독립을 위해 싸우기도 했어요.” “가볼게요.” “그래요 빨리 가 봐요.” 오늘이 축제 마지막 날이라고 한다. 서둘러야겠다. “지금 올라가면 쇠공 던지기 할 거예요. 씨름도 해요. 주로 힘쓰는 경기들이에요.” “왜 경기들을 하죠?” “성 게오르기오스는 마을의 수호성인이에요. 그래서 아주 오래 전부터 그를 기리는 거예요.” 전설에 따르면 성 게오르기오스는 리비에 마을 사람들을 괴롭히던 용을 무찌르고 마을 사람들을 구했다고 한다. 그 후 다른 마을 사람들도 그가 자신의 마을을 지켜주기를 바라며 그를 기념하고 축제를 연다고 한다. 교회 앞 마당에선 운동경기가 한창이다. 그때 새끼 양 한 마리가 경기장에 난입했다. “마을에 양 키우는 주민이 가져온 거예요. 성인 게오르기오스에게 바쳐진 양을 우승한 사람에게 주는 겁니다.” 지금 이 경기는 ‘팔레‘ 라는 그리스 민속 경기다. 언뜻 보면 우리의 씨름과 흡사하다. 이 경기는 등이 땅에 닿은 선수가 지는 경기다. 초반에는 검은 옷을 입은 선수가 우세했는데 순간의 실수로 패하고 만다. “지금 저 아이가 이긴 거예요. 이제 저 아이는 전 경기에 이긴 아이와 붙을 거예요.” 축제 4일 동안, 토너먼트 형식으로 진행된 경기에서 드디어 우승자가 탄생한다. 교회 옆 식당에선 사람들이 줄을 서서 뭔가를 기다린다 가까이 가 보니 음식을 나눠주고 있다. “전통이에요. 오늘 축제를 마치면서 모두에게 음식을 나눠주는 거예요.” 양고기에 빵과 치즈가 든 쟁반을 들고 가는 아저씨를 따라가 봤다. 경기하던 모습은 사라지고 어느새 거하게 차려진 연회가 펼쳐지고 있었다. 각자 독특한 복장을 한 주민들이 모여든다. “아라호바에선 각자 자기만의 전통 옷이 있어요. 이게 제 옷인데 비싸긴 하지만 자수예요. 이날을 위해서 자기만의 옷을 지어 입어요.”

We drove to Arahoba village in the middle of Parnassus mountain for 15 minutes by car. The town of Arahoba is well known as a place to film the drama The Sun of the Fallen. When I entered the town, I could see the clock tower, and the male and female protagonist of the drama kissed in front of the clock tower. The tower was originally built as a church bell tower in 1860, but collapsed in the great earthquake of 1870 and rebuilt as a clock tower in 1966. In the old days, I used it as a warehouse. I kept cheese mostly. At that time, there was no electricity, so it was a substitute for the refrigerator. I thought there would be a lot of tourists because of the beautiful scenery of the village. Most stores also closed. Hello. Hello. Why do not you have people in the village? Everybody goes to the festival. I'm doing a festival for an adult Georgios. He fought for independence here in 1824. I'll go. Yes, go quickly. Today is the last day of the festival. I have to hurry. If I go up now, I will throw the iron. I wrestle. Why are we playing? St. Georgios is the patron saint of the town. So it's been a long time for him to honor him. Legend has it that St. Georgios defeated the dragon that harassed the villagers of Riviere and saved the villagers. After that, other villagers also celebrate him and open festivals, hoping he will protect his village. In the front yard of the church, athletic competition is in full swing. Then a lamb entered the stadium. It's brought in by villagers who live in the village. It's a Greek folk game called the 'Palais'. At first glance, it looks like our wrestling. This game is a game in which the player who touches the ground touches the ground. In the early stages, the player with the black outfit prevailed, but he lost with a mistake of the moment. That kid won now. Now the child will go with the child who won the game. During the four days of the festival, the winner is finally born in the tournament format. In the restaurant next to the church, people stand in line and wait for something. It's a tradition. I'm going to give it to everyone at the end of the festival today. I followed the uncle who was carrying a tray of bread and cheese in a lamb. The appearance of the game was gone, and the banquet was held in a big room. The residents gather in their own unique outfits. In Arahoba, each has its own traditional clothing. This is my clothes, but it's expensive, but it's embroidered. I wear my own clothes for this day.

Olympus the mountain of Gods

Ορεινές διαδρομές : Λιτόχωρο - Πριόνια

Από την περιοχή «Μύλοι» (400 μ.), μία από τις εισόδους του Εθνικού Δρυμού, στο πάνω μέρος της πόλης του Λιτοχώρου, ξεκινάει το διεθνές μονοπάτι ορειβατικών διαδρομών Ε4, το οποίο διασχίζει το μοναδικό σε ομορφιά φαράγγι του Ενιπέα. Το μονοπάτι είναι καλοδιατηρημένο, με σήμανση και κατατοπιστικές πινακίδες και καταλήγει ύστερα από πολλά ανεβοκατεβάσματα στα «Πριόνια», στις πηγές του Ενιπέα (1100 μ.). Το μονοπάτι στην αρχή ακολουθεί το φαράγγι του Ενιπέα, από τα αριστερά της κοίτης, ενώ μετά τη μέση περίπου της διαδρομής διασχίζει τον Ενιπέα επτά φορές - με πανέμορφες ξύλινες γεφυρούλες - έχοντας την κοίτη του πότε από τα δεξιά και πότε από τα αριστερά. Στο δεύτερο μισό της διαδρομής συναντάμε το Άγιο Σπήλαιο, όπου ασκήτευσε ο Άγιος Διονύσιος και μετά από είκοσι λεπτά περίπου φθάνουμε στην Ιερά Μονή του Αγίου Διονυσίου, την οποία αξίζει να επισκεφθούμε μιας και παραμένει ανοιχτή για τους προσκυνητές από τον Απρίλιο έως τον Οκτώβριο. Μετά από 10λεπτη πεζοπορία αφού περάσουμε το μοναστήρι, κατηφορίζει στα αριστερά μας μονοπάτι, που οδηγεί σε λίγα λεπτά στους πανέμορφους καταρράκτες του Ενιπέα. Λόγω των πολλών ανεβοκατεβασμάτων η πορεία είναι αρκετά κουραστική, όμως οι πολύμορφοι γεωλογικοί σχηματισμοί, οι λιμνούλες με τα κρυστάλλινα νερά και οι κάθετες ορθοπλαγιές, προσδίδουν στο τοπίο σπάνια ομορφιά και ανταμείβουν τον επισκέπτη με τον καλύτερο τρόπο. Η διαδρομή μπορεί να γίνει και με την αντίθετη φορά, αν δηλαδή πάμε μέχρι τα «Πριόνια» ή την Ιερά Μονή του Αγίου Διονυσίου με το αυτοκίνητο.

Olympus is the tallest mountain in Greece, globally acknowledged mainly in its mythological frame of reference, according to which the 12 Olympian Gods of the ancient Greek Religion resided in its highest summit (Mitikas – elevation 2918 m.)
It is also the second tallest mountain in the Balkans (following Rila Mount in Bulgaria) and indeed of the entire region of Europe between the Alps and the Caucasus mountains.
The solid mountain range towers over the regional limits of the prefectures of Macedonia and Thessaly in Greece, with many tall peaks and canyons that form between them, around which an area with exceptionally rich biodiversity has flourished. To protect this unique heritage the area has been declared a protected habitat, the Olympus National Park, the first to be acknowledged in Greece.
Each year thousands of nature-lovers visit Olympus to admire the charm of its wilderness up close, explore its ranges and conquer its summits! There are numerous mountain camps offering a variety of hiking and climbing routes for the visitors to enjoy. Litochoro, a town situated on the east foot of the mountain and just 100 km from Thessaloniki, is the preferred point of access to the mountain and also the site where the Olympus Mountain Marathon finishes in early summer each year!
The international hiking path E4 starts in the area of Myloi (400m) and is one of the entrances into the National Park from the town of Litochoro. The path passes through the stunning Enipea Canyon and is well preserved with clear markings and informative signs. After many ascents and descents the path ends in Prionia at the Enipea springs (1100m).
The path starts along Enipea Canyon to the left of the river and half way along the route it crosses the canyon seven times across beautiful wooden bridges thus sometimes having the river on the right and others on the left. In the second half of the route is Agio Spilaio, where Saint Dionysios lived as an ascetic and then after another 20 minutes or so the path reaches Agios Dionysios Monastery which is well worth a visit and is open from April to October. Leaving the monastery behind and continuing along the path after approximately 10 minutes the path begins to descend to the left and after a few minutes arrives at the spectacular Enipea waterfalls.
The route is quite tiring due to the ascents and descents, but the varied geological features, the small lakes with crystal waters and the sheer mountain slopes provide a rare beauty and entirely reward the visitor. The route can also be done in the reverse direction arriving at Prionia or Agios Dionysios Monastery by car and starting out from there.

34. Lilos
According to mythology, Tilos was the nephew of the men who educated Zeus during his childhood on the island of Crete. Due to the mysterious illness that plagued his mother, the young man embarked on a long journey in search of a cure to alleviate it. So he came to an island where he found some herbs that served as medicine. As a sign of his gratitude for the success of the treatment, he returned to that place and founded numerous temples that he consecrated to Apollo and Poseidon. Since then, the island is named after this reckless young man.

33. Iviron Monastery (Mount Athos)
The Monastery of Iviron (Greek: Μονή Ιβήρων, Georgian: ივერთა მონასტერი) is a monastery of Mount Athos, Greece. It is the third monastery of the hierarchy of the monasteries of the Sacred Mountain. Its name comes from that it was founded between 980 and 983 by two Georgian monks (Ibires), Ioannis and Efthymios. Tradition says that the Virgin Mary visited this place with her son and she asked him for the place as a gift. This is the reason why this place, as well as the whole Mount Athos, is very devoted to the Virgin (Panagia). It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Mother of God that is celebrated on August 15 in the Gregorian calendar and August 28 in the Julian calendar.

32. Kamiros (Rhodes)
The city of Kamiros is located on the northwestern coast of the largest island of the Dodecanese, once home to the Colossus of Rhodes. It is one of the three historical sites that saw its apogee reach several centuries before Christ, and in our days the vestiges of its magnificence can still be appreciated.

31. Epirus
Epiro (from Greek Ήπειρος Epeiros, word whose meaning is 'continent') was in ancient times a region populated by various Greek tribes. Its limits were: to the north with Illyria and Macedonia, to the south with the Gulf of Ambracia and Etolia, to the east with Thessaly and to the west with the Ionian Sea, the central and northern sector of Epirus during classical antiquity constituted the region called Molosia. The mountainous system called Pindus separates this region from Thessaly. It was, and still is, an agricultural region in which wheat and other cereals, vegetables, fruits, olives and tobacco are grown.

30. Palace of Phaistos (Crete)
The ruins of the palace of Phaestos, destroyed definitively around 1500 a. C.

29. Halki
Halki is a small island of the Dodecanese, located a short distance from Rhodes and Piraeus. Its modest surface is home to historical monuments and archaeological sites that combine with sunny beaches to make Halki a dream destination. Walking through its streets and visiting its typical taverns is an ideal experience for a quiet holiday, away from the crowds of tourists who congregate in other nearby islands. Let's visit some of its main attractions now, and let yourself be seduced by the charm of this little jewel of the Aegean.

SUMMARY
=======
The Greek War of Independence, also known as the Greek Revolution (Greek: Ελληνική Επανάσταση, Elliniki Epanastasi, or also referred to by Greeks in the 19th century as the Αγώνας, Agonas, Struggle; Ottoman: يونان عصياني Yunan İsyanı, Greek Uprising), was a successful war of independence waged by Greek revolutionaries against the Ottoman Empire between 1821 and 1830. The Greeks were later assisted by the Russian Empire, Great Britain, and the Kingdom of France, while the Ottomans were aided by their North African vassals, the eyalets of Egypt, Algeria, and Tripolitania, and the Beylik of Tunis.
Even several decades before the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453, most of Greece had come under Ottoman rule. During this time, there were several revolt attempts by Greeks to gain independence from Ottoman control. In 1814, a secret organization called the Filiki Eteria was founded with the aim of liberating Greece. The Filiki Eteria planned to launch revolts in the Peloponnese, the Danubian Principalities, and in Constantinople and its surrounding areas. By late 1821, the insurrection had been planned for 25 March (Julian Calendar) 1821, on the Feast of the Annunciation for the Orthodox Christians. However, as the plans of Filiki Eteria had been discovered by the Ottoman authorities, the revolutionary action started earlier. The first of these revolts began on 6 March/22 February 1821 in the Danubian Principalities, but it was soon put down by the Ottomans. The events in the north urged the Greeks in the Peloponnese into action and on 17 March 1821, the Maniots declared war on the Ottomans. This declaration was the start of a spring of revolutionary actions from other controlled states against the Ottoman Empire.
On 25 March the revolution was officially declared and by the end of the month, the Peloponnese was in open revolt against the Turks. By October 1821, the Greeks under Theodoros Kolokotronis had captured Tripolitsa. The Peloponnesian revolt was quickly followed by revolts in Crete, Macedonia, and Central Greece, which would soon be suppressed. Meanwhile, the makeshift Greek navy was achieving success against the Ottoman navy in the Aegean Sea and prevented Ottoman reinforcements from arriving by sea.
Tensions soon developed among different Greek factions, leading to two consecutive civil wars. In the meantime, the Ottoman Sultan negotiated with Mehmet Ali of Egypt, who agreed to send his son Ibrahim Pasha to Greece with an army to suppress the revolt in return for territorial gain. Ibrahim landed in the Peloponnese in February 1825 and had immediate success: by the end of 1825, most of the Peloponnese was under Egyptian control, and the city of Missolonghi fell in April 1826 after a year-long siege by the Turks. Although Ibrahim was defeated in Mani, he had succeeded in suppressing most of the revolt in the Peloponnese, and Athens had been retaken.
Following years of negotiation, three Great Powers—Russia, Britain and France—decided to intervene in the conflict and each nation sent a navy to Greece. Following news that combined Ottoman–Egyptian fleets were going to attack the Greek island of Hydra, the allied fleet intercepted the Ottoman–Egyptian fleet at Navarino. The battle began after a tense week-long standoff, ending in the destruction of the Ottoman–Egyptian fleet. By 1828 the Egyptian army withdrew under pressure of a French expeditionary force to which the Ottoman garrisons in the Peloponnese then surrendered, while the Greeks proceeded to the Ottoman-controlled part of central Greece. After eight years of war, Greece was finally recognized as an independent, sovereign state under the London Protocol of February 1830. Later, in 1832, the London Conference and the Treaty of Constantinople defined the final borders of the new state and established Prince Otto of Bavaria as the ...

Mount Olympus

Mount Olympus (/əˈlɪmpəs, oʊˈlɪm-/; Greek: Όλυμπος; also transliterated as Olympos, and on Greek maps, Oros Olympos) is the highest mountain in Greece and the second highest mountain in the Balkans. It is located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, between the prefectures of Pieria and Larissa, about 80 km (50 mi) southwest from Thessaloniki. Mount Olympus has 52 peaks, deep gorges, and exceptional biodiversity. The highest peak Mytikas, meaning nose, rises to 2,917 metres (9,570 ft). It is one of the highest peaks in Europe in terms of topographic prominence.
Olympus was notable in Ancient Greek Mythology as the home of the Twelve Olympians, on the Mytikas peak. Mount Olympus is also noted for its very rich flora with several species. It has been the first National Park of Greece, since 1938, and a World's Biosphere Reserve.

SUMMARY
=======
Greece (Greek: Ελλάδα, Elláda Greek pronunciation: [eˈlaða]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, Ellinikí Dimokratía Greek pronunciation: [eliniˈci ðimokraˈti.a]), historically also known as Hellas (Ancient Greek: Ἑλλάς, Hellás Greek pronunciation: [heˈlas]), is a country located in Southern and Southeast Europe, with a population of approximately 11 million as of 2016. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki.
Greece is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the northeast. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, the Cretan Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km (8,498 mi) in length, featuring a large number of islands, of which 227 are inhabited. Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous, with Mount Olympus being the highest peak at 2,918 metres (9,573 ft). The country consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands (including the Dodecanese and Cyclades), Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands.
Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilisation, being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama, as well as the Olympic Games. From the eighth century BC, the Greeks were organised into various independent city-states, known as poleis (singular polis), which spanned the entire Mediterranean region and the Black Sea. Philip of Macedon united most of the Greek mainland in the fourth century BC, with his son Alexander the Great rapidly conquering much of the ancient world, spreading Greek culture and science from the eastern Mediterranean to India. Greece was annexed by Rome in the second century BC, becoming an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire, wherein Greek language and culture were dominant. Rooted in the first century A.D., the Greek Orthodox Church helped shape modern Greek identity and transmitted Greek traditions to the wider Orthodox World. Falling under Ottoman dominion in the mid-15th century, the modern nation state of Greece emerged in 1830 following a war of independence. Greece's rich historical legacy is reflected by its 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The sovereign state of Greece is a unitary parliamentary republic and developed country with an advanced high-income economy, a high quality of life, and a very high standard of living. A founding member of the United Nations, Greece was the tenth member to join the European Communities (precursor to the European Union) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2001. It is also a member of numerous other international institutions, including the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). Greece's unique cultural heritage, large tourism industry, prominent shipping sector and geostrategic importance classify it as a middle power. It is the largest economy in the Balkans, where it is an important regional investor.

SUMMARY
=======
The Greeks or Hellenes (; Greek: Έλληνες, Éllines [ˈelines]) are an ethnic group native to Greece, Cyprus, southern Albania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt and, to a lesser extent, other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. They also form a significant diaspora, with Greek communities established around the world.Greek colonies and communities have been historically established on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, but the Greek people have always been centered on the Aegean and Ionian seas, where the Greek language has been spoken since the Bronze Age. Until the early 20th century, Greeks were distributed between the Greek peninsula, the western coast of Asia Minor, the Black Sea coast, Cappadocia in central Anatolia, Egypt, the Balkans, Cyprus, and Constantinople. Many of these regions coincided to a large extent with the borders of the Byzantine Empire of the late 11th century and the Eastern Mediterranean areas of ancient Greek colonization. The cultural centers of the Greeks have included Athens, Thessalonica, Alexandria, Smyrna, and Constantinople at various periods.
Most ethnic Greeks live nowadays within the borders of the modern Greek state and Cyprus. The Greek genocide and population exchange between Greece and Turkey nearly ended the three millennia-old Greek presence in Asia Minor. Other longstanding Greek populations can be found from southern Italy to the Caucasus and southern Russia and Ukraine and in the Greek diaspora communities in a number of other countries. Today, most Greeks are officially registered as members of the Greek Orthodox Church.Greeks have greatly influenced and contributed to culture, arts, exploration, literature, philosophy, politics, architecture, music, mathematics, science and technology, business, cuisine, and sports, both historically and contemporarily.

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Clement I (Latin: Clemens Romanus; Greek: Κλήμης Ῥώμης; died 99), also known as Saint Clement of Rome, is listed by Irenaeus and Tertullian as Bishop of Rome, holding office from 88 to his death in 99. He is considered to be the first Apostolic Father of the Church.Few details are known about Clement's life. Clement was said to have been consecrated by Saint Peter, and he is known to have been a leading member of the church in Rome in the late 1st century. Early church lists place him as the second or third bishop of Rome after Saint Peter. The Liber Pontificalis states that Clement died in Greece in the third year of Emperor Trajan's reign, or 101 AD.
Clement's only genuine extant writing is his letter to the church at Corinth (1 Clement) in response to a dispute in which certain presbyters of the Corinthian church had been deposed. He asserted the authority of the presbyters as rulers of the church on the ground that the Apostles had appointed such. His letter, which is one of the oldest extant Christian documents outside the New Testament, was read in church, along with other epistles, some of which later became part of the Christian canon. These works were the first to affirm the apostolic authority of the clergy. A second epistle, 2 Clement, was attributed to Clement, although recent scholarship suggests it to be a homily by another author. In the legendary Clementine Literature, Clement is the intermediary through whom the apostles teach the church.According to tradition, Clement was imprisoned under the Emperor Trajan; during this time he is recorded to have led a ministry among fellow prisoners. Thereafter he was executed by being tied to an anchor and thrown into the sea. Clement is recognized as a saint in many Christian churches and is considered a patron saint of mariners. He is commemorated on 23 November in the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, and the Lutheran Church. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity his feast is kept on 24 or 25 November.

SUMMARY
=======
The Kingdom of Greece (Greek: Βασίλειον τῆς Ἑλλάδος [vaˈsiliɔn ˈtis ɛˈlaðɔs]) was a state established in 1832 at the Convention of London by the Great Powers (the United Kingdom, Kingdom of France and the Russian Empire). It was internationally recognised by the Treaty of Constantinople, where it also secured full independence from the Ottoman Empire. This event also marked the birth of the first fully independent Greek state since the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans in the mid-15th century.
The Kingdom succeeded from the Greek provisional governments after the Greek War of Independence, and lasted until 1924. In 1924 the monarchy was abolished, and the Second Hellenic Republic was established, after Greece's defeat by Turkey in the Asia Minor Campaign. It lasted until 1935, when it was overthrown by a military coup d'état which restored the monarchy. The restored Kingdom of Greece lasted from 1935 to 1973. The Kingdom was again dissolved in the aftermath of the seven-year military dictatorship (1967–1974), and the Third Republic, the current Greek state, came to be, after a popular referendum.

SUMMARY
=======
Delphi (; Greek: Δελφοί [ðelˈfi]), formerly also called Pytho (Πυθώ), is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of Pythia, the oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. Moreover, the Greeks considered Delphi the navel (or centre) of the world, as represented by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi.
It occupies an impressive site on the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus, overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis. It is now an extensive archaeological site with a small modern town of the same name nearby. It is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the ancient world, as evidenced by the rich monuments built there by most of the important ancient Greek city-states, demonstrating their fundamental Hellenic unity.
