In the mid-twentieth century Greece was an agricultural country and much of its population was dependent on small-scale farming. Since then many people have moved from the countryside to the towns and cities. Meanwhile, Greece's cultural heritage, dramatic landscape and warm climate have made it one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. But while the boom in tourism has had great economic benefits, both urbanization and tourism have caused environmental problems. Today Greece is faced with the challenge of maintaining its economic growth while conserving and protecting its stunning environment. Meet the people of Greece, from a teacher in Kalambaka to a musician in Athens. This book includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency and language.
