	Cities in Greece: 2005 Population Estimates
		Please bear in mind that this is only an estimate of the number of people in a given city -- it may be possible to obtain actual figures from the U.N. and government sources.
		Thus a city like Manila in the Philippines may have a city population of 1.6 million people (within its official city limits), but a urban area population closer to 10.5 million people.
		All city population figures have been esimtated using various factors and based on data from qualified sources.

	Greece
		The development of cultural pursuits common to all the Hellenic cities was one of the factors that united ancient Greece, despite the political separation of the various states.
		Thus, one of the characteristics of the Hellenistic period, which lasted from the death of Alexander until the acquisition of Greece as a Roman province in 146 BC, was the deterioration of the Greek city-states as political entities and the gradual decline of Greek political independence as a whole.
		Greece objected to the state's name and flag, claiming that "Macedonia" was a Greek name, and that the flag appropriated a Greek symbol.

		Greece is made up of the mainland (the Balkan Peninsula and the Peloponnesus) and numerous islands scattered across the Aegean and Adriatic Seas.
		Greece is no exception; people settled in small, independent communities along or near the coasts of the mainland and the islands.

	Greece islands, cities & villages. Peloponessos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		At the time the Peloponessos was all there was of Greece since it was the first part of the country to be liberated from the Turks in 1821 and in fact nearly went back to the Turks when the heroes of the revolution began fighting amongst themselves.
		For many, the Peloponessos is the true Greece and to them the narrow isthmus of Corinth is all that separates them from a world of Albanians, Vlachs, Bulgarians and Macedonians, who are all Greeks to us.
		But the Peloponessos can be said to be the heart and soul of Greece and though it has been left off the tourist map that was especially painted for Americans, it is as worth a place to visit as any ten islands combined.
