Added DiffLines:

* The British TV series ''[[Series/WhoPaysTheFerryman Who Pays the Ferryman?]]'' was filmed on location in Crete and had a number of Greek actors (to say nothing of most of the extras). And the memorable theme tune was composed by a Greek. Although set in the then-modern day (1977), a lot of the storyline related to what happened on Crete during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Coming as it did at a time when more and more people from northern European countries were looking at Greece as a holiday destination, it was responsible for a considerable TouristBump.

Recent economic turmoil and financial problems in Greece led to the extreme right-wing and Neo-Nazi party '''Golden Dawn''' to be elected for the first time. This party made headlines in June 2012 when one of its candidates, Ilías Kasidiáris, [[WouldHitAGirl punched and slapped]] KKE politician Liána Kanélli [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nte1UtRww_k on live television]]. This party's ugly side was revealed in September 2013, when members were allegedly involved in the murder of a hip hop musician called Pávlos Fýssas. This led to the subsequent arrest of key party members. Despite this, the party came ''third'' overall in the January 2015 election, despite the fact that about half of its members were imprisoned!

There were two general elections held in Greece in 2012, in May and then June, owing to the fact that no government could be formed from the May election. Due to the perceived bad decisions and management and owing to popular discontent at Prime Minister Giórgos Papandréou's tenure, PASOK was very badly defeated in both elections.
