The Santorini Islands

Its spectacular tourist sites, captivating entertainment, and unusual public culture lend a complexity and mystique to the region. Although the growth rate of Greece’s GDP has been negative for years, the government is beginning to take action. Hopefully, it will prove beneficial to the general populace. Since the exquisite beauty of the country is indisputable, and the intrinsic cultural interest of its society and history is unquestionable, perhaps a greater understanding and promulgation of what Greece can offer to tourists would improve its profits in that area. It should never be forgotten how much of an impact this diminutive country has had on shaping world thought and ideas. The Hellenic Republic stands alone as a pinnacle of historic, cultural, and artistic achievement, a literal turning point in the history of the world.

P4) Review factors that have contributed to one declining destination (Cyprus) and one developing (Greece) in the European travel market.

In the story of The Island of “Kora”, the island had been devastated by a violent earthquake that had been triggered by a volcano eruption four years earlier. The island which had prior to the disaster been about twenty square miles in size and been reduced to less than a fourth that size to about four square miles. The island prior to the earthquakes had previously been able to support comfortably 850 to 900 people. It was a peaceful island where the inhabitants got along well. Because of the disasters the lives of the inhabitants had been changed forever.

On February 1736, James Oglethorpe and the first English settlers arrived on St. Simons Island. Then in March 1736, Reverend Charles Wesley, a Methodist, entered his ministry at Frederica. Georgia became a royal colony in 1752. The Revolutionary War prevented the establishment of an official church on St. Simons Island. Following the Revolutionary War, in 1808, Christ Church began. The small population on St. Simons possessed great beliefs and followed the teachings of Christ even though there was no church building until 1820. The first church, constructed on the same spot where the current church now stands.

Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, historically also known as Hellas, is a country in southeastern Europe, with a population of approximately 11 million as of 2015. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki. Greece is strategically 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. Greece consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands, Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea

The Marcus Island healthcare system is characterized as socialized medicine where all residents have access to primary care, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic testing. While residents have access to care, they are responsible for a small portion of the payment at the time of service, and in some cases, those who are willing to pay a premium are afforded better access to services. While patients themselves believe their healthcare is either adequate or good, there are several aspects of the Marcus Island healthcare system that suggest care could be better. Specially, Marcus Island’s health care system has been running increasing budget deficits for the past five years. The health care system lacks access to comprehensive

The Hawaiian Islands were created from volcanoes over the millions of years. The Islands sit on the Pacific Ocean plate and the way these islands were formed was from the hotspots in the earth’s crust and from the underwater volcanoes that soon rise to make land. There is roughly eight islands and I believe there will be more islands created in the future and they will keep shifting northwest. The first island is the oldest and roughly near 5 million years old, while the younger ones aren’t as old. Erosion is a common thing throughout the earth but for the Hawaiian Islands it’s changed the way the structure of the volcanoes and the island as a whole. The main reason why the islands are growing is from the lava the pours out of the volcanoes and builds layers upon layers and expands which expands the land. There is enough supply of lava that comes from the mantle since it’s still an active hot spot and will always be a hotspot.

Did you know that Greeks wave with the back of their hand facing out, instead of in? This is just one of many interesting facts about Greece. Greece is 50,949 square miles, which is around the size of Alabama. They have a president and a Prime Minister as their main government positions, and 98% of their population is Christian Orthodox, which is influenced through the Prime Minister. Also, Greeks love their food. Therefore, amazing whole made food is daily produced for many festivals, which makes it a huge tourist attraction. Greece is very mountainous and dry, but does get anywhere from 20-40 inches of rain a year. And finally, if you're ever planning a trip to Greece, May is the best month to go, because they get only 1.5 centimeters of

In the words of Eurylochus “'Dear friends, no need for stealth:o here's a young weaver singing a pretty song to set the airatingle on these lawns and paven courts.Goddess she is, or lady. Shall we greet her?'”

In 2011, the Republic of San Marino awarded citizenship to the then President of the United States, Barack Obama. The letter that this often-overlooked alpine nation addressed to President Obama was thoroughly ignored by the news media, and to any onlookers the fact that Europe’s third smallest country was offering citizenship to the President of one of the world’s leading powers must have seemed quite peculiar. San Marino’s extension of citizenship to President Obama, however, was not a delusional act, but rather, was the renewal of the Apennine republic’s congratulatory gesture to Abraham Lincoln 150 years earlier. Following the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, “the Most Serene Republic of San Marino” had communicated to President

“Rosette was born the same day that Gambo disappeared. That is how it was. Rosette helped me through the worry that they would take him alive and with the emptiness he left in my heart. I was absorbed in my daughter. That Gambo was running through the jungle pursued by Cambray 's dogs occupied only a part of my thoughts” (Allende, 134) Those words are said by Zarité, the main character of the book Island Beneath the Sea by the Chilean Isabel Allende, translated and published in the United States on 2009. It starts on the Island of Saint-Domingue (actual Haiti) from 1770 to 1793 and the second part, take place on Louisiana, USA, from 1793 to 1810. About the main character, Allende said: "Of all the characters I created, that of Zarité for me that I have more the feeling that existed". While Island beneath the Sea, I have been clarifying, predicting and finally, evaluating.

The harbour of Heimaey, along the south coast of Iceland is a small town named Vestmannaeyjar with a population of 5400 people. Vestmannaeyjar provides some the of the best fishing areas in the North Atlantic. A loss of this fishing harbour would see a fall in Iceland’s economy (Bullard, 1977). Until mid-January in 1973 the island of Heimaey was considered to be volcanically inactive. The last known eruption of Helgafell was inferred to be 5000 – 6000 years ago. (Bullard, 1977) there was no real warning of Helgafell erupting other than two swarms of earthquakes which began on 21 January 1973 and on 22 January a gale of wind which has raged and left 70 ships in the harbour seeking shelter. The Eruption started in the early morning of 23 January 1973 from a 1600 meter long fissure. The fissure was located 200 meters to the East of the town. The lava flowed away from the town due to favourable morphological conditions. Due to favourable conditions such as the wind blowing west, pyroclastics ejected from the fissure were redirected away from the town. These conditions contributed to the safety of the residents as they were evacuated from the town to safer locations via the stranded ships. (Kolbl, 29 June 1996)

Egypt is known to be the number one tourist destination in the Middle East and North Africa. It has been for years and obviously this is because of its ancient Pharos history, and pyramids in Giza and other historical sites and Luxor and all over the country has attracted tourists from around the world and for many years to visit these attractions that were built around 7000 years ago. Egypt’s tourism now is not just about cultural about heritage but it also has sun, sea and sand tourism on its beautiful beaches on both seas, the Mediterranean and the red sea. Egypt’s tourism is also very popular with its Nile cruises from Alexandria to the Upper Egypt of Luxur and Aswan via the capital Cairo.

The first thing on my personal bucket list is to travel to Europe, but above all, I want to go to Greece and Iceland. One day, I watched a Korean reality travel program “Youth over Flowers,” which showed young people backpacking with little money. Therefore, I thought that was how youth should be. Since then, I have been wanting to go to Greece and Iceland by myself. If I could go there, I would like to go to Santorini Island in Greece, which is the most beautiful place I have seen on TV, and it looks peaceful with a blue ocean. Salome M. Krell and David Farrell describe Santorini as an unforgettable beauty when they say, “I . . . have fallen in love with this spellbinding place” (3). For this reason, I would like to go Santorini, and I would like to drink wine on the terrace overlooking the sea; I will feel relaxed and free. Then, I would like to visit Iceland. Iceland is one of the best places to view the northern lights, although it is hard to see aurora because of the clouds and weather. The authors of the article “Magic in the
