The Greeks (Greek: Έλληνες [ˈelines], i.e. "Hellenes") are an ethnic group native to Greece and to Cyprus.

Additionally, people living in the region of North Epirus

               in southern Albania, Anatolia, Southern Italy, the South  
                        Caucasus and others often identify themselves as Hellenes.

    They also form a significant diaspora, with Greek communities established around the world.

From our experience though, we would encourage a more realistic definition of the term. People of all nationalities can feel even a little Greek in a number of ways. They actually do ! In fact, we've been told so repeatedly. Hanging out with a Hellene, eating Greek food or enjoying our sun-blessed lands all the way from Nicosia to Athens and Salonika up north, Hellenes sure know how to make you feel like family. 

Hence, irrespective of origin and location,  skin colour and nationality, Hellenism is ubiquitous. Like a colourful mosaic comprised of many little bits and pieces of sun, sea, smiles, delicious food, beach parties, good mood, olive trees and ancient civilisations. We might never learn to organise things like the Swiss, or dress like the Italians but no one will ever learn to love life better and in a more hollistic way than the Hellenes.
