Greece Song | Learn Facts About Greece the Musical Way

We at JEOGRAPHY set out to write a song about Greece with a nod to traditional Greek hit music, and our hope is that this song about Greece for kids will get your little ones up and moving while learning about Greek geography, Greek Culture, and important people from Greece (both past and present).

You may want to learn about Greece along with your children, or perhaps you are simply planning to travel there and want an original method of becoming acquainted with your destination. And now - learning about Greece is only one song away.

This musical video is appropriate for kids and adults of every age. We think this video is the ideal musical supplement to the Kids Learning Tube Greece Song and the Geography Now Greece YouTube videos.

Greece Kids Song Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Greece / Athens and Thessaloniki / Greece / More than 6000 islands to see
Greece / listening to Nana Mouskouri / Greece / Greece is the place that I want to be

Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece. Although Greece was officially founded in 1821, ancient Greek civilization traces back as far as the year 800 B.C.

The Parthenon and Meteora / Acropolis and Samaria Gorge
Patras, Larissa, and the island of Crete / Ancient Olympia had great athletes
Spanikopita and oregano / olive oil, fresh fish, thyme and gyros
Yanni, kantada, mandolin / pan flute, lyre, and tambourine

Chorus

Greece is located in southeastern Europe, on the southern tip of the Baltic peninsula. What game do they play on the Greek islands? Hydra and go seek!
Who did Greek mythical character Artemis invite to the party? Her deer-est friends.

Giannis Antetokounmpo / Eleni Foureira, Natassa Theodoridou
Basketball, football, waterskiing / Volleyball, hiking, Santorini
Navy Week and the August Moon / at Apokreas, sing a lovely tune
Plato, Aesop, Archimedes / Aristotle, Homer, Aristophanes

Chorus

Did you know that there is a film about ancient Greek author Homer? You Odyssey it. The population of Greece is 10.8 million people.
The official language is Greek, and the official unit of currency is the Euro.

Oleander, cyprus, ash, and beech / the national flower is the Bear's Breech
Watermelon, cherries, pears, tomato / eggplant, okra, and potato
Swans, hawks, skuas, divers, pelicans / national animal is the dolphin
Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Nike / Ares, Apollo, Aphrodite


ABOUT JEOGRAPHY:
My name is Stephen, creator of Jeography Songs. After discovering my love for travel over 10 years ago, I decided to embark upon a musical journey where upon reaching my destination I'd have successfully written a song for every one of the 196 countries on planet Earth.

Now well into my journey, I recently decided to create video portraits of the countries using my songs as the theme and am in the process of putting them up for the world to enjoy here on Youtube. I hope you find these musical portraits a truly enjoyable way to learn about the diverse cultures, geographies, and histories that make each country remarkable.

In writing each song I tried to use instrumentation, melodies, and rhythms that reflect the musical traditions of the host country. We sincerely hope you enjoy this method of geographic learning. Any inquiries or questions can be sent to letsrockgeography@gmail.com.
