Greece

Geograpy - Greece is a country of the


Balkans, in Southeastern Europe,[1]
bordered to the north by Albania, North
Macedonia and Bulgaria; to the east by
Turkey, and is surrounded to the east by
the Aegean Sea, to the south by the
Cretan and the Libyan seas, and to the
west by the Ionian Sea which separates
Greece from Italy. The country consists of a mountainous, peninsular
mainland jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea at the southernmost tip
of the Balkans, and two smaller peninsulas projecting from it: the
Chalkidiki and the Peloponnese, which is joined to the mainland by the
Isthmus of Corinth.

Terrain - Greece is a mostly


mountainous country with a very
long coastline, filled with
peninsulas and islands. The
climate can range from semi-
desert to cold climate mountain
forests. Greece's natural hazards
include severe earthquakes,
floods, droughts and wildfires.

Piraeus is a port city within the Athens
urban area, in the Attica region of Greece. It
is located eight kilometres southwest of
Athens' city centre, along the east coast of
the Saronic Gulf in the Athens Riviera.

Thessaloniki is a Greek port city on


the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean
Sea. Evidence of Roman, Byzantine
and Ottoman history remains,
especially around Ano Poli, the
upper town.

Athens is the capital of Greece. It was


also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a

city is still dominated by 5th-century BC
landmarks, including the Acropolis, a
hilltop citadel topped with ancient
buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon
temple.
