Sanam sent this photo from Greece. Greece is a small country in southeastern Europe,
situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. The country has borders with
Albania, the
Republic of Macedonia and
Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the east. The Aegean Sea lies to the east
and south of mainland Greece.
Sanam is a South Asian expat settled in Greece with her family. Greece was the first area in Europe where advanced early civilizations emerged, beginning with the Minoan civilization in
Crete and then the Mycenean civilization on the mainland.
Later, city-states emerged across the Greek peninsula and spread to the shores of Black Sea, South Italy and Asia Minor reaching great levels of prosperity that resulted in an unprecedented cultural boom, expressed in architecture, drama, science and philosophy, and nurtured in Athens under a democratic environment. Athens and Sparta led the way in repelling the Persian Empire in a series of battles.
Sanam’s
husband runs a beach side
hotel in Athens. An important percentage of Greece’s income comes from tourism. Their hotel in Greece also targets tourists mainly. So Sanam is living a well off life and doing a fund business.
