136 Greek Geography: Greece is situated on the Mediterranean, and is bordered to the north by Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria, and to the east by Turkey. To the east is the Aegean Sea, and to the west the Ionian Sea. The mainland consists of the following regions: Central Greece, Peloponnese, and Thessaly (east/central), Epirus (west), Macedonia (north/northwest) and Thrace (northwest). Euboea, the second largest of the Greek islands, lying to the northeast of the central region, is also considered to be part of the mainland region Travellers in Greece In recent years, people have been killed as a result of accidents and poor safety standards on regional buses and ferries. Use of reputable bus and ferry operators may reduce associated risks. Driving in Greece can be hazardous due to aggressive driving practices and poorly maintained roads and vehicles. For further advice, see our bulletin on Overseas Road Safety. A valid Australian driver’s licence and an international driver’s licence are both required to legally operate a vehicle in Greece. Drivers’ licences should be valid for the type of vehicle being driven, including for ‘quad’ motorbikes, mopeds, scooters and other similar motorised transport. If you do not possess a licence that permits you to drive motor bikes in Greece, your insurer may invalidate your claim in the case of an accident. When travelling by motorcycle or motor scooter, both the operator and any passengers must wear a helmet. Failure to do so could invalidate your travel insurance if you are involved in an accident, and is also illegal.

Information about Corfu: Corfu is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands, and, including its small satellite islands, forms the edge of the northwestern frontier of Greece. The island is part of the Corfu regional unit, and is administered as a single municipality. The municipality includes the island Corfu and the smaller islands Ereikoussa, Mathraki and Othonoi. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality (pop. 33,886) is also named Corfu. Corfu is home to the Ionian University. The island is bound with the history of Greece from the beginning of Greek mythology. Its Greek name, Kerkyra or Korkyra, is related to two powerful water symbols: Poseidon, god of the sea, and Asopos, an important Greek mainland river. According to myth, Poseidon fell in love with the beautiful nymph Korkyra, daughter of Asopus and river nymph Metope, and abducted her. Poseidon brought Korkyra to the hitherto unnamed island and, in marital bliss, offered her name to the place: Korkyra, which gradually evolved to Kerkyra (Doric).Together, they had a child they called Phaiax, after whom the inhabitants of the island were (Corfnamed: Phaiakes. This term was transliterated via Latin to Phaeacians. (Corfu The island’s history is laden with battles and conquests. The legacy of these struggles is visible in the form of castles punctuating strategic
137 locations across the island. Two of these castles enclose its capital, which is the only city in Greece to be surrounded in such a way. As a result, Corfu’s capital has been officially declared a Kastropolis (“castle city”) by the Greek government. [5] Corfu was long controlled by Venice, which repulsed several Turkish sieges, before falling under British rule following the Napoleonic Wars. Corfu was eventually ceded by the British Empire along with the remaining islands of the United States of the Ionian Islands, and unification with modern Greece was concluded in 1864 under the Treaty of London. In 2007, the city’s old city was designated for the UNESCO World Heritage List, following a recommendation by ICOMOS. Corfu is a very popular tourist destination. Up until the early 20 th century, it was mainly visited by the European royals and elites, including Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany and Empress Elisabeth of Austria; today it is also widely visited by middle class families (primarily from the UK, Scandinavia and Germany), leading to mass tourism. It is still popular with the global elite however, and in the island’s northeast the homeowners include members of the Rothschild family and Russian oligarchs Corfu has a population of, 109,537 (2001) Wikipedia ------:------ 49 th Lodge to receive this Gavel Lodge Apollo # 98 Or. of Athens 1993 Athens, is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world’s oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum, it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5 th and 4 th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent. Today a cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece. In 2008, Athens was ranked the world’s 32 nd richest city by purchasing power and the 25 th most expensive in a UBS study. The city of Athens has a population of 655,780 (796,442 back in 2004) within its administrative limits and a land area of 39 km 2 (15 sq mi). The urban area of Athens (Greater Athens and Greater Piraeus) extends beyond the administrative municipal city limits, with a population of 3,074,160 (in 2011), over an area of 412 km 2 (159 sq mi). According to Eurostat, the Athens Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) is the 7 th most populous LUZ in the European Union (the 4 th most populous capital city of the EU) with a population of 4,013,368 (in 2004). Athens is also the southernmost capital on the European mainland. The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, widely considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains a vast variety of Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of remaining Ottoman monuments projecting the city’s long history across the centuries. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Landmarks of the modern era, dating back to the establishment of Athens as the capital of the independent Greek state in 1833, include the Hellenic Parliament (19 th century) and the Athens Trilogy consisting of the National Library of Greece, the Athens University and the Academy of Athens. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it welcomed home the 2004 Summer Olympics. [13] Athens is home to the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world’s largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, as well as the new Acropolis Museum. Acropolis of Athens Wikiedia
