GREECE

Greece, the southernmost of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Geography has greatly influenced the country’s development. Mountains historically restricted internal communications, but the sea opened up wider horizons. The total land area of Greece (one-fifth of which is made up of the Greek islands) is comparable in size to England or the U.S. state of Alabama.

Greece has more than 2,000 islands, of which about 170 are inhabited; some of the easternmost Aegean islands lie just a few miles off the Turkish coast. The country’s capital is Athens, which expanded rapidly in the second half of the 20th century. Attikí (ancient Greek: Attica), the area around the capital, is now home to about one-third of the country’s entire population.

TRECHANTİRİ

Trechantiri is one of the most beloved, well-traveled and genuine Greek hulls. The word "trehantiri" probably owes its origin to "trochantira", which has been found in texts of Byzantine writers of the 9th & 10th century and means stern pedestal. Its construction began in the middle of the 17th century. The use of the trident covered & covers almost all areas of maritime activity.

Its most common use is for commercial fishing, although in the past it was used as a commercial & as a sponge. Nowadays, they are very popular, more, for recreation, than for commercial fishing.
