Prostitution is legal in Greece and constitutes an acceptable form of revenue. Maybe you are talking about the "black market", which is quickly being reduced due to governmental tax enforcement programs.

Maybe you should have paid attention in primary school when they were teaching you how to read, then you could have read the thread and seen for you're self some of what is produced in Greece, instead of trolling.

The answer to your question is in the 6 pages you decided to skip instead of read. Greece lightning is also correct that prostitution is legal and should be considered in calculating the GDP. I am sure Holland and any other country with legal prostitution counts it when calculating the GDP. It makes no sense not to count it.

λ | LAMDA
WORDLS FIRST ULTRA PREMIUM EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
by SPEiRON


TO DREAM A NEW FORM IS TO GIVE BIRTH TO A NEW STATEMENT

Assumptions; efforts; drive into influential processes; lead to significant alterations. We should extend given borders, pull barriers down.
/2005/ Giorgos Kolliopoulos, a perfectionist and a true visionary; dreams of developing the most stunning olive oil in the world.



/2006/ Giorgos founds Speiron and takes a training course on the organoleptic assessment method of olive oil (as it is implemented by the International Olive Oil Council).

/2007/ Speiron is breaking new ground in the international olive oil market by presenting λ /lambda/.

Corinna Michaelidou, graphic designer for several major advertising agencies in Greece. The two worked together developing the new product - the label, the bottle, the packaging - without any limitations whatsoever.



DESIGN | TO BE OBSESSED BY EXCELLENCE IS TO RADICALLY CHANGE THE RULES

Ideas; actions; make definite statements; cause fundamental changes. We should exercise ourselves in differentiation, promote innovation.The form of a flask; unpretentious, straightforward; an innovative shape, although minimal. Effortless, the valuable liquid keeps its exquisite fragrances intact.

Two white circles, the upper one bigger; white as purity.

The Greek letter λ dominates the upper circle; on the lower circle, /lambda/ not only translates the letter-symbol, it also marks handmade perfection.

Distinctive, clear glass; for this is an olive oil like no other in its class.





λ | LAMBDA | TO DETERMINE PURITY IS TO RESPECT NATURE’S VALUES

Longevity; prosperity; challenge society’s values; evolve our momentary perception. We should respect nature’s gifts, reinvent purity.

Olive oil, precious and blessed; its antioxidant ingredients have made Cretan diet the best in the world.

Extremely low acidity, unique organoleptic properties, exceptional flavour; λ /lambda/ is extraordinary, rare; it is considered to be the finest extra virgin olive oil of the famous Kritsa region in Crete, Greece and one of the best olive oils in the world. Therefore, in order to preserve its qualities, Speiron suggests a short-term consuming period for λ /lambda/.

An one-of-its-kind flavour for an one-of-its-kind olive oil.



CERTIFICATIONS | TO ENSURE UNIQUENESS IS TO CONTROL EVEN THE TINIEST DETAIL

Quality; superiority; every inner aspect has to be examined; life’s tiniest particle has to be explored. We should achieve excellence, reach perfection.

Supremacy leaves nothing to chance. Speiron can guarantee the exceptional organoleptic and chemical properties of λ /lambda/. We insist on analysing its chemical state every 4 months. λ /lambda/ is like no other olive oil in the world, a pure flow of excellence.

Acidity: 0.3° Location: Kritsa, Crete, Greece Variety: Koroneiki Harvest: by hand Extraction: first cold and very carefully extracted Colour: deep green Flavour: fruity Taste: intense fruity, medium pungent Volume: 500ml (16,9 fl oz).

I am actually surpised that noone posted anything about Pitsos, the leading Greek constructor of household electronic devices.

History of the company:
The company was established in 1865 to produce household devices and petrol machines, later the company produced everything that has to do with a house from kitchens to televisions and heating machines.

HAI-Hellenic Aerospace Industry will execute a CCIP upgrade for 94 F-16s of USAF. The first upgraded fighter was delivered to USAF at the end of March.

[pilotos]

Good news, i guess HAI will be experienced enough to upgrade our own F-16 soon then

[Geokioy]

...xxxmmm interesting...and very good for us!!!

That's what I think also. And our upgradable F-16s are fewer than 94 cause I don't see any chance-meaning of upgrade for the 32 block 30s.

[pilotos]

Well if they wish to exceed their career they will at least make a structural upgrade, so more or less the number is the same.

[arxeos]

Just saw this and remembered the phantom that crashed was it today or yesterday?

[1821]

Haven't heard anything about an F4 going down. Pilot survive?


Anyway on the topic, hopefully when our F16's are upgraded, and that presumably is done in Greece by HAI, it can serve as a basis for other nations F16's in the region and Middle East, to be upgraded in Greece by HAI. Would be great.

Not made in greece but the man who built this jewlery empire is a greek man fron epirus,sotirios voulgaris.

Sotirios Voulgaris (Greek: Σωτήριος Βούλγαρης; Italian: Sotirio Bulgari) began his career as a jeweller in his home village Paramythia (Epirus, Greece), where his first store is still to be seen. In 1877 he left for Corfu and then Naples. In 1881 he finally moved to Rome, where in 1884 he founded his company and opened his second shop in via Sistina.

The current flagship store in via dei Condotti was opened in 1905 by Bulgari with the help of his two sons, Constantino (1889-1973) and Giorgio (1890-1966). The store quickly became a place where the world's rich and famous came for the unique, high quality jewelry designs combining Greek and Roman art.
