    Greece is constantly under attack - whether it be easterners, westerners, bankers, media spamming greeks not good for Olympic games (but we won euro cup that year), media spamming greeks no good for western finance (but tesla is opening workshops in Greece not in the west). turks violating greek air, sea and earth - so unity comes with mostly external reasons and hence our forefathers differentiated between greeks + barbarians. anyway mainland greeks are largely village people at heart so the village values does shine strong through - such as being a positive member of the community, elders giving children endless love, youngsters taking care of their parents when older list goes on.

    Everyone will give you a different reply.

    Here is my answer.

    We are surrounded by enemies who have proven they can bite.

    No country bordering Germany atm is an immediate threat.
    Being Greek is an experienced grounded into nation, not consumption.

    We have Turks and Erdogan as enemies so we must be united to fight them.
    We are the border of Europe , Asians meet us first and fought so many wars in our history

    So the answer is HISTORY

    We accept atheist, roman Catholic, paganist and evangelical Greeks as equally Greek, let alone that at least paganists are the most patriotic

    Also, I would replace "some" with "most" in your position

    Greeks are the best. The women are really high maintenance I heard, but maybe with the econ they have chilled-out a little and settle for pearls instead of diamonds.

    Way I see it is related to pride and connection to a massively rich past culture and history, the basics of civilization Europe lives on today is based on ancient greece sometimes gives you the feeling of being completely unchallanged and makes you view the neighboor countries as infants

    Wars in your homelands make population more patriotic excluding Germans.

    Family ties. Family is above anything in Greece, and in extension, all Greeks are family to us.
    Plus, if you are constantly under attack, you are getting a stronger defense mechanism.
