Abstract: A homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K,g)$ is called a space with homogeneous geodesics or a $G$-g.o. space if every geodesic $gamma(t)$ of $M$ is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of $G$, that is $gamma(t)=exp(tX)cdoto$, for some non zero vector $X$ in the Lie algebra of $G$. We give an exposition on the subject, by presenting techniques that have been used so far and a wide selection of previous and recent results. We also present some open problems.
