The fact that there is another little Greece outside of the borders of the country, might sound a little excessive to some, but it is true indeed!
According to the latest estimates of the General Secretariat of Hellenes Abroad, today there more than 5,000,000 people of Greek origin that live outside of the Greek borders, scattered in 140 countries across the globe.
The first big wave of immigration from Greece took place at the beginning of the 1900s, the second immigration wave – and largest to this day – was right after the end of the Second World War, and the third wave occurred during the period of the worldwide financial crisis of 2007-2008.
