Greece is the most influential civilization on the planet. Aside from that the foundation of the western world which dominates 60% of the world today. From democracy to almost all sciences, from philosophy to what we see as beautiful, from math to the Olympic games, the biggest sports event in the world, language, civilization, knowledge, reason, strive for perfection, and literally almost everything else. Greece has a vast and profound influence on our modern world. And that alone would make me want to go to Greece, for it's unparalleled history and incredible culture, aside from its breathtaking landscapes, crystal clear seas, mountains, heavenly cuisine and great warm people. I can see how Greece has had a humongous influence on the world, not just in classical period, but in the bronze age and Greek empire of Byzantium too.

I've spent the last 30 years of my life studying Ancient Greek. It has made me so very happy and it has inspired me mentally and spiritually. It is a beautiful language through which the finest poetry and prose are expressed by the greatest writers. I've devoted years to reading Homer in his original language. and then to reading Sophocles, Euripides, Plato, Herodotus, and so many others. I am very very happy and I consider my life blessed because of this. You would not regret making the effort to learn the language of Ancient Greek.

The Ancient Greeks made quite an impact on world history, with their contributions in art, architecture, and language still going strong today. What do you find most fascinating about their cultural impact?
