Since time immemorial people realized that water is the root of life! Look at those primitive drawings!

The river tears the rocks apart and flows in a rush!

Yes, indeed, water is indisputably a source of life and thank God, Greece is surrounded by seas and admirable sea treasures.

Oh! Look at these dolphins! How beautiful they are! Figures are depicted on them! You may have heard many stories about men who survived from drowning thanks to those incredible seacreatures!

Ancient Greeks worship water and then create a God to rule over it: Poseidon is his name and with his trident, one stroke is enough to cause rough seas!

Yes, we see him everywhere, in statues and pictorial decorations.

Rivers and lakes are worshipped as well.

Ancient Greeks show their gratitude in every moment of their lives, around the table, in their daily chores, at the fields.

The water carried from wells and springs is a holly ceremony, a happy daily routine that people, over the centuries, are still in the habit of.

The sea determines the lives of the Greeks and their activities. They make ships to take them wherever they want.

Remember Odysseus and his adventures. He closes his ears to the tempting Sirens and keeps sailing to his homeland.

Our ornaments are our islands, our ports, our sea sides! Commerce, tourism, merchant navy, all of them are served by the sea.

Athletics. Water is a motivation for competition.

Baths, the purification of our body and souls. There are special potteries made for serving all peoples needs.

Wells and taps, a life source for the residents. Seferis, our Nobelist poet, writes about Greece:

Our land is enclosed, surrounded by mountains, having as a roof the low sky, day and night. We dont have streams, we dont have wells, we dont have springs, just a few empty cisterns; they echo and we vow

Watermills and mass of other mechanisms assist in the concentration of the valuable water.

Great towns are built near the sea. Ancient ruins are indisputable witnesses.

Even Christianity worships water as an element of baptism and purification.

Rivers, seas, caves, waterfalls, theres water everywhere in nature, its magic!

illions of taps are pouring water, millions of taps are uttering, once you die today, you die again and again our National poet Dionisios Solomos. says.

Look at the bridges! Human constructions, mans effort to tame water. Look, how beautiful they are!

The lakes are unique, beauty second to none! And people cultivate the land nearby. The fluid element forms and defines the environment around it.

The rocks are carved by its power and masterpieces are created.

It gives life to trees, reflects cities, determines the landscape.

Its a blessing!
