Eurobarometer: Macedonians third most frequent tourists to Greece

-

22% of the Macedonian populace spent their vacations in Greece,  thus making them the third most frequent visitors to the south Balkan nation after Cypriots (48%) and the Serbs with 25%.
This is the latest data from Eurobarometer tied to tourism in EU member states and candidate member states.

According to this statistic, 47% of the Macedonians who went on vacation outside their borders did so in some of the 27 EU member states, 44% spent their vacations at home, and 9% spent their time vacations outside Europe.

22% of those 47% who spent their vacations within the EU went to Greece, only 1% to Croatia, 3% spent their vacations in Spain, 3% to France, 3% to Austria, 4% to Italy and 5% to Germany. Interesting to note is that no Macedonians are visiting the UK on vacation.   

The latest poll shows that 13% of the Macedonians vacationing have said they will spend their time in Greece, 5% in Spain, 4% in Germany, however it must be noted the poll was done in February when not everyone has made their plans on where they would be heading on vacation.

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru...

Rapid-Chaot: Der Hass-Grieche

Bild
Angst und Gewalt liegen über Österreichs Fußball – und ein gewaltiger Imageschaden. Verantwortlich dafür sind einige Hundert Rapid-Chaoten und Hooligans aus dem Ausland. Sie stürmten beim 297. Wiener Derby gegen die Austria den Platz, erzwangen so einen Abbruch. Das Gesicht der Randale: ein Hardcore-Fan von Panathinaikos Athen. Das Logo von Panathinaikos Athen prangt auf der linken Brust. Der Mann gehört zum berüchtigten Fanklub Gate 13. Bauch: Tätowierung Ultras. Die Griechen pflegen mit den Rapid-Hardcorefans eine enge und langjährige Freundschaft. Dieser Hooligan kam aus Griechenland, um unserem Fußball zu schaden. Sein Tattoo-Motto: „seek and destroy“ – finden und zerstören. Nackter Oberkörper, tätowiert mit Logos von Rapid und Panathinaikos Athen, kahler Kopf, das Gesicht mit einem Schal vermummt – das Bild des Derby-Hooligans ging um die Welt. „Heute“ erfuhr: Das Fußball-Monster kommt aus Griechenland, ist arbeitslos, ein Capo des gefürchteten und mit den Rapid-Ultras kooperi...

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g...
