Guidance to Hellas
Hellenic Republic (official name for Greece) is a country located in southeastern Europe. According to the 2011 census, Hellas's population is about 11 million. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, with Thessaloniki being the second largest and referred to as the co-capital.
Modern Hellas traces its roots to the civilization of Ancient Hellas, which is considered the cradle of all Western civilization. Hellas is the birthplace of the prevailing ideas of the modern world such as democracy, philosophy, the Olympic Games, literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles and drama, including both tragedy and comedy.
An indicative short video (14 minutes), that deserve your interest is as per the following link: http://www.oxidayfoundation.org/video-the-greek-secret/
The cultural and technological achievements of Hellas have greatly influenced the world, being imparted to the East through Alexander the Great conquests, and to the West via incorporation into the Roman Empire and the succeeding Eastern Roman Empire that survived 11 centuries. Greek Orthodox Church was founded on the fertile ground of the ancient Greek philosophy. The outcome was a celebrated way of life named Romiosini. This way of life has human as the center of its interest. The Greek state in its long run was seized by two Great Civilizations for 400 years each. First, by the Romans and lately by the Ottomans. it survived both, not to mention the great influence that inflicted on them. Following the London Treaty Greece was re-birth on 1830, after a 10 year struggle against Ottoman Empire.
Hellas has always been on the right side of History. A founding member of the United Nations, Hellas was the tenth member to join the European Communities (precursor to the European Union) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2002.
It is also a member of numerous other international institutions, including the Council of Europe, NATO, OECD, OSCE and the WTO.

Accommodation
The Hellenic National Defence College (HNDC) provides the opportunity to students to be accommodated in the military resort area of “Agios Andreas”. For this reason 24 apartments have been renovated. Some countries have M.O.U signed with Hellas, so as to host their personnel at this resort exclusively. The officers that come from countries that do not have this set rule have two options. They can either select to stay in “Agios Andreas” covering the relevant expenses or to stay at Hotels of their preference. In case you stay at a hotel it would be wise to choose a hotel near a metro station.
The facilities of “Agios Andreas” are located thirty five (35 km) from the College, on the East side of Attica prefecture. They are primarily facilities oriented to accommodate the Greek Armed Forces personnel during the summer for family vacation. These facilities have been visited from many foreign officers during summer following the GLIMS program and during the whole year as is the case with the Greek and foreign students of the College during the academic year. The feedbacks have been positive.
6
There are a number of advantages if you choose to stay in “Agios Andreas” such as:
24/7 provided security in a military camp. Access in the facilities will be granted by issuing the relevant security card.
Furnished rooms with air condition. You do not need to cover expenses relevant to water and electricity.
Basic room service is provided. Limited rent expenses in comparison with regular Hotel prices. Sport facilities (playground, tennis court, basketball court, relaxation area). Free Wi-Fi. First aid medical assistance. Beautiful and quite environment nearby the sea. Free transportation with military van to and from the College.
However you should take into consideration that the resort is relatively far from the city’s center (average time to reach Athens’s city center is about 40-45’and 35 km). Access to a car is suggested as it would be useful for your convenience in transportation.
You can find pictures of “Agios Andreas” and important information in the following site:

Security Issues
Athens is considered to be a safe city. However, as it is the case in all big cities worldwide, special precaution should be taken when using the public means of transportation in rush hours to avoid pickpockets or when walking very late in the night alone in certain places downtown. Be careful not to carry a lot of money with you and avoid going downtown in case of demonstrations.

26
Code of Conduct
Athens is an easy city to wander around since many Greeks can speak English and they are willing to help tourists. When socializing in Hellas remember the following:
Physical contact (handshaking, eye contact) is allowed between men and women.
There is often close contact among people of the same gender as well. Greeks will often reach out and touch someone when speaking to them. When meeting, a kiss on both cheeks is a common gesture if there is a familiar relationship.
Public interactions are often more demonstrative than foreigners may be used to. Conversations are often held at a high volume – which may or may not indicate anger.
The Greeks will often make gestures by inclining their heads such as tilting their heads upwards to indicate “no” for example.
Nodding the head upward means no. A raised open palm at face level is considered an insult. Eating in a Greek restaurant is pretty informal and meant to be relaxing and
enjoyable. When visiting a monastery, do not ask the priests or nuns if you may take
their pictures and ask their permission to take photographs of the monastery.
When visiting tourist sites such as the Acropolis in Athens, do not pick up any stones, pieces of chipped wall, etc. to take home as souvenir. That is illegal.
You can drink a little at a pub or restaurant, but only on the condition that you will know when to stop. Drunk driving is, of course, unacceptable. With regard to smoking, it is prohibited in taxis and public places, except those equipped with a special area.
Weather
The climate of Athens is Mediterranean and can be summed up as having hot dry summers and mild wet winters. Although this climate produces temperatures that are warmer throughout the year than most of northern Europe, Hellas still does experience the four “seasons.” The average temperature in the
27
winter is in the low teens (10-12°C), while spring and fall bring average temperatures in the mid-teens (15-19°C).
Electricity
It is 230V (50Hz). Do not forget to buy or to bring an adaptor with you if it is necessary.
