Do the north of Europe lack culture? I do get the lack of beaches with acceptable warm water, and cheap living but culture...

as they comments below pointed out, I was not trying to say Northern Europe did not have culture, just saying that Greece has a boat load of it! All that mixed together they have a ton to offer.

Didn't this version of Greece arise from the Ottoman collapse?

I'm absolutely positive that ancient Greece is a cultural heritage of the western world. And ontop of that I''m sure modern Greece has plenty of culture, as much as anywhere else. But there are many places with traces of really old culture in Greece, which I believe it is what you are talking about - ancient culture.

Northern Europe lacks ancient culture or at least knowledge of it.

Many parts of Northern Europe were nowhere near as civilized as Greece was 2000 years ago. Therefore, Greece's culture is both different and, in many ways, more ancient than culture in the north

As I said here: https://voat.co/v/AskVoat/comments/181319/839126 I don't think we see culture the same way.

Northern Europe doesn't lack culture, more that Greece has an abundance of culture in comparison going from Ancient Greece, the Byzantine Empire, Holy Roman Empire and Ottoman Empire.

I'm not sure I follow you there, is culture a measurement of civilization? I guess we have a different stance on what culture is.
