Greece is more eastern than western. It’s the crossroads between worlds. (Eastern not meaning Islamic, of course)

You are confusing Eastern European of whom share similarities based upon the fact they are mostly Orthodox Christians with the proporganda of Western Europeans during the big split of the Empire. You are correct that Eastern Europe has influence from the "orient", a term by the way given to Eastern Europe during the big rift between the two churches by Western Europe, but that does not mean their ideology and culture is not Western. Also trying to claim Greece/Greeks as "Eastern" is pretty funny given not even in ancient times did Greeks see themselves as "Eastern" that is why they called and still call everything East of the Aeagean Sea ANATOLI=East; Greeks also had and still have another term for ANATOLI and that is Mikra Asia translation=Minor Asia. In no time, either ancient, medieval or modern did Greeks ever call or view the Greek mainland as being part of the East.
