Living in a democratic society is of great importance for all people.-Rich and fertile region – Greece always had a wonderful position that provided plenty of goods. The sunny climate and the nearness of the sea ensure the citizens have full of vegetables, fruits, and fish. On top of that, it is a colorful region with impressive nature.
