LEROS ISLAND GREECE CULTURE AND TRADITION The culture and traditions of Leros island are in general similar to the Greek Islands and the Greek mainland traditions. From the old times the ceremonies which used to gather Greeks together were the religious celebrations and marriages. This is the same in Leros with the two main religious celebrations being Easter and the Assumption of Maria on August 15th. Easter The Assumption of Maria (August 15th) Another big celebration of Leros, like all over Greece, is the Assumption of Mary. On the 14th August the whole Island goes up to the castle of Leros, where the Church of Mary is sited, to pay its respects and follow the liturgy. Afterwards they will be gathered in restaurants or houses with huge dinners and dancing through the night. Other Cultural Activities During the summer the Lerians organise athletic competitions known as the Alindia and the Bulafentia. The naval week also take place in summertime and is dedicated to the Greek navy. This week involves free entrance to the public to various war ships which are visiting the Island. Leros also takes part in the Aegean Regatta during the month of August. The Educational Cultural Association of Youth of Leros Artemis has, in recent years, become the centre of cultural activities in Leros, organizing theatrical, musical, traditional dancing, art exhibitions and lots of other cultural events in the Island and abroad throughout the year.

The General Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Greece Since ancient times, the geopolitical location of Uzbekistan has been where the main caravan roads traversed to link Asia and Europe, predicating the historical richness of the land. The country is situated in the middle of Central Asia between the Amu-Darya and Syr- Darya rivers and was named "maa-waraa-nahr" by Arabs, meaning "a place between two rivers". From ancient times, the wealth of the land attracted foreign conquerors. In the third and fourth centuries B.C., Central Asia was conquered by the Macedonians. Conquest by Alexander the Great had a great effect on the economic and cultural development of the peoples of the East, West and Central Asia. In the middle of the third century B.C., the conquered regions became independent and local dynasties came to power. Bactria, which included the southern parts of Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan, became the hub of the Greek- Bactrian empire and later came under control of the Kushan empire. After the conquest of Central Asia by Alexander the Great, studies of the subsequent period depict development and the heyday of architecture, painting, handcrafts, and music. During the seventh and eighth centuries, Central Asia was conquered by the Arab Khalifat. The Arabs took over these countries under the mission of spreading the new religion of Islam. As a result, their conquest entirely changed the region's way of life. Building construction, art and science declined under the pressures of war and continued only in the middle of the nineth century. This was connected with the creation of independent empires ruled by the dynasties of the local aristocracy: the Tahirids and Samanids. In the l0th century, the Arabs were forced to withdraw their troops and the Samanids rose to power.

One of the great paradoxes of history is that the next hesitant advance of European civilization - the development of the first city-states - took place not on the fertile open central European plains, but in a remote island to the south of the Aegean Sea which was completely lacking in metal resources. While the glittering mounted warrior-princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare, a highly cultured yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete. The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.

Staying healthy while vacationing depends on proactive steps before departure and smart choices while traveling. Ensure that you are in good health before traveling and that you have no serious health problems. Make sure your immunizations are up-to-date. There are no legal immunizations for entry except if you are coming from a yellow fever infected area in which case you will need to show a certificate of vaccination. While traveling it's always safe to update your tetanus, diphtheria, polio, and hepatitis A vaccinations. If you plan on doing lots of traveling in remote areas where you have a higher likelihood of coming into contact with animals, it is best to get a rabies vaccination.
