The Greek element was driven out and forced to live in neighborhoods outside the city walls, known by the Turkish name of 'Marasia'. These suburbs expanded towards the South and South-East of the Castle, around spots where there had been only country dwellings and churches under the rule of the Knights. During the last hundred years another new area of building has sprung up, the so-called "Niochori" (new village), along the north front and its first inhabitants were those relocating to Rhodes from other nearby islands as well as foreigners. This was the area that the Italians chose to built their modern buildings, turning it into the administrative center of the city. The best place to start exploring Rhodes town is Cyprus square (Platia Kyprou) right in the center of town. Around the square you can find many fashionable boutiques, jewelry shops and tailors, and just about every major Greek and foreign bank. As you proceed down to Gallias street you come to a large heptagonal (seven sided) building called the New Market flooded with a variety of small shops, while the upper floor is occupied mainly by law firms. Within the New Market you can also find many fresh fruit and vegetable stands, butchers shops, cafes and a variety of gift shops.

Here are some of the gifts the ancient Greeks gave to the world: The ancient Greeks did not have one king or queen. They lived in city-states. Each city-state was a separate political unit. Daily life was somewhat different in the Greek city-state of Athens, for example, than it was in the city-state of Sparta, or even in Corinth!

    http://www.bankofgreece.gr/en/bank/history.htm
    
    Extractions: The Building The Emblem THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE FIRST YEARS The Bank of Greece was established in accordance with the Geneva Protocol of 15 September 1927 and began operations on 15 May 1928. The proposal to establish a central bank was put forward by the League of Nations in order to support the Greek government' s efforts at overcoming serious economic and budgetary problems. Until the establishment of the Bank of Greece, central banking functions had been exercised by the major commercial bank, the National Bank of Greece, which had been founded in 1841 and had gradually acquired a monopoly over note issue. In the view of the League of Nations, the National Bank of Greece was involved in conflicts of interest and other incompatibilities in conducting a public policy function like the note issue alongside its commercial banking business. Assets (mainly gold and government debt) and liabilities (the note issue and mainly government deposits) were transferred from the National Bank to the new central bank. The Bank of Greece began operations in May 1928 with a staff of 500 persons. Subsequently the Bank opened a number of branches and agencies serving mainly to supply currency locally as well as to disburse and / or to collect funds for the government accounts. On 4 April 1938 the headquarters of the Bank was moved to its present location.

    Extractions: Property and Real Estate in Greece HOME 108 years after holding the first "Modern Olympics", the games are finally returning home to their birthplace; Athens will be holding the 2004 Olympics. The Olympic Games are probably the most important sporting event in the world, and for Greece, the 2004 Games will be even more special. The Olympic Games however, have a lot more to their history than the first of the modern games that took place in Athens in 1896. Brief History of the Olympics The first recorded Olympic Games took place in Olympia, in the beautiful region of Elias, in 776 BC. There is evidence however, to support the claim that the games had been taking place a lot earlier than 776 BC, but these were not as organised or held every four years, as the 776 BC games had been. The four-year gap between the games was called the Olympiad, and the Greeks based their calander on this time frame.

    http://www.theplumber.com/greek.html
    
    Extractions: to International Toilet History in India and the World U ntil Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, rampaged through and destroyed the city in 432 B.C., Olynthus was a rich and flourishing metropolis, its people enjoying the luxury of the latest plumbing innovation-bathtubs. Excavations at Olynthus, in northern Greece, attest to tiled bathrooms and self-draining tubs. Several of the tubs have survived intact, shaped like present-day models though with one sloping end cut off. It is assumed that underground piping was made of since deteriorated clay, as there was no lead piping found. At this stage the early plumbers were still toying with a new metal, lead. Indeed one tub uncovered in a tiled bathroom was repaired with lead clamps. (Archaeologists also found the skeletal remains of a woman near the tub, her jewelry evidently overlooked by Philip's soldiers as they plundered the town.) From the shapes of the ancient tubs uncovered, the bathers apparently sat upright and rested their feet on a depression formed at the bottom. No doubt they were influenced by Hippocrates, the "father of medicine," who said that sitting in a tub was more healthy than reclining. Hippocrates also advocated cold water baths as a cure for almost any ill. The Greeks followed his advice very carefully.

    http://www.elysianholidays.co.uk/chios/chios_history.htm
    
    Extractions: Chios is the probable birthplace of Homer, and, like many of the islands, has had a turbulent past. But it has also been relatively prosperous and in medieval times the mastic resin was exported and in the 20th Century shipping dynasties were built up in Chios. There is a strong maritime influence and many people did, and still do, serve in the Merchant Navy. In 1822 the Turks committed an infamous atrocity, slaughtering 30,000 inhabitants and enslaving many more. The clifftop village of Anavatos is the site of a mass suicide by the villagers, rather than face surrender to the Ottomans. It is still deserted, and has spectacular views and is an eerie but fascinating experience. There are numerous Byzantine monuments, medieval villages and Venetian architecture to admire on this island. Chios has suffered at the hands of nature as well. In 1881 much of the island was destroyed by a severe earthquake and in 1980 parts of the island were devastated by forest fires, from which it is gradually recovering with the help of the planting of new trees.

There is a spectacular parade of flare-lit fishing boats and firework displays as well as the ceremonial bearing of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
