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.
*The modern nation of Greece was born after its long War of Independence from the Ottoman Turks (1821-1832). In the eyes of most historians, the Greece of today is different from the Greek Byzantine Empire of the Middle Ages (also known as the Medieval Period). That Greek empire fought many wars against the young Ottoman Empire.
