Lmao, rich coming from a orthocuck living in Canada. Why you guys always immigrate to west, while nobody comes to your shitty orthodox countries?
Whille catholics were crusading, throwing moors out of iberia and colonising new continents ortodox nations struggled under ottoman and mongol rule. orthodox contibutions to science and culture of the west are way below any other among european christians and there's a good reason for that.
Your main cathedral was turned to mosque and there's nothing you can do about it. Damn humiliating. While Rome is spiritual center of christianity for centuries.

Greece is a mix of western and Balkan influences (maybe more western these days though). Greece is the most westernized country on the Balkans. Not only had it been under heavy English influence since 1821 (obvious in everything including architecture), the islands (especially) have been ruled by Venetians and knights for centuries and it shows. One has to visit Rhodes and he will find himself in a place similar to Malta (very catholic). Crete and the Ionian islands show heavy Venetian (Italian) medieval influence etc. As far as the other Balkan or orthodox states go, Greece is hands down the most western-like (excluding Croatia and Slovenia of course). Due to the long period of uninterrupted western influence, there is certain practicality in the buildings which is pleasant to see. You will not find the grand buildings you will see in Bucharest or Sofia from the communist (especially Stalin) time or the ugly communist blocks, but you will see buildings which are practical, ideal for the climate and similar to those you see in the Mediterranean states (especially Portugal).
Things change when you go north: Greece becomes more balkanic, but not in communist sense, but like more byzantinelike without much catholic influence. Thessaloniki (old byzantine buildings) looks a lot like the old byzantine buildings of Sofia.

Nah but I was definitely wasn't, "CoolGuy1" you have actually in fact DEFINITELY misused the difficult-for-you word "definitely" to seriously pretend you haven't been bullied and physically and verbally oppressed and tyrranized by your parents who beaten you with a toothbrush when you HAD LITERALLY been bullied and you technically project it on me which is your UNACCEPTABLE PARANOID the really schizophrenic abused retarded like yourself. I am not tolerating your psychotic ramblings which DEFINITELY characterize your nonsese which you embrassingly and psychotically attempt to boast and increment of their 100% literally truly inaccuracy with your "definitely" making a bigger AUTIST out of yourself. Why did you self-righteously you tossed me your "definitely" for, to think I wouldn't actually expose yourself and wouldn't actually notice you being a traumatized reject with severe mental issues you really suffer from? Why you pretend to not most awfully misuse "definitely" and you pretend to understand it when you can't even not awfully misuse and MISUSE the word "bullied" and you can't realize what it means, to coware from admitting you are a mental case locked in a psychiatric hospital? You're full of shit so maybe you need to make a beautiful palette with all the shades of brown, talk to your psychiatrists and give a drawing a go. Rekt.
It's not my fault kids have shattered your head to hard slaps and you cried relentessly in agony and despair being a little bitch covering your dangerously vibrated head that you actually are. Dry your tears. If you want to scientifically prove yourself a bigger bullied kiddo, respond back to this.

I think you are grossly exaggerating the western and balkan influence a bit lol. Greece is indeed westernized or pseudo-westernized to a degree (it sucks only the aspects of western civilization such as smartassness or self-righteousness for selfish reasons but discards the logic and sane thinking-freethinking or scientific method) but not that much, it's predominantly an Anatolian-Arabo-esque Mediterranean country with little bit of Balkan influence mix but Greece clearly in fact is undeniably nothing akin to Yugoslavia, Albania and Romania, in fact the inhabitants arrogantly insult those countries as "shithole" and assumptiously think they are superior to them automatically. So yeah... Greeks remind me actually of Arabized or Arabic-like Italians and their fundamental mentality is FAR-REMOVED from anything Western. Collectivism and crab mentality exists here, so consider yourself unlucky.

Franks were brutal clanish Barbarians who didn't do alot before they adopted things from the Byzantines.
Also the Kings of the Franks(Merovingians) trace their ancestry to Greece(Arcadia) and developed
a mythology which they took from Greek mythology,Minoan ect
What did Slovenians,Croats,Czechs do of notice lets say before the recent 5 centuries(to be generous)
Croats got their Alphabet from two Byzantine monks(Kyrill and Methodius) which was a modified form of Greek alphabet, before that is there anything they did ,to be noticed?
