Greece as an economic area

From an economic point of view, the service industry, especially tourism, is the most successful in Greece. Regional agriculture with the cultivation of olives, wine and tobacco is also one of the dominant sectors. Among the crucial sectors of the economy is also trade, more precisely shipping, as 18.6% of the world's shipping traffic is served by Greek ships. According to HDI, Greece is one of the above-average developed economies, although the country is affected by a comparably high unemployment rate of 12.2%.

Transport infrastructure of Greece

Due to the numerous islands and the long coastline, special importance is attached to passenger and commercial shipping in Greece. The main port is located in Piraeus, which is near the capital Athens. All major islands and neighboring smaller ones can be reached by ferries.

Greece's national roads are marked in blue, while highways are signposted in green. Most of the highway construction is financed through tolls, but some highways are privately owned and will not become state property for the time being. The largest and most important airport is Athens-Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. In total, international air connections are offered from about 15 airports.
