GREECE ~ Map ~

... Great map postcard with lots of tiny but wonderful pictures showing typical and famous places... Greece has more than 2,000 islands, of which about 280 are inhabited... there are some islands that are known for their incredible sandy beaches, natural features and authentic villages, while others have a significant nightlife scene or strong cultural traditions... a place where historic ruins, volcanic cliffs, and friendly locals meet the clear-blue Mediterranean Sea.... it has the longest coastline in the Mediterranean with 13 676 km and one of the longest coastlines in the world... and a popular holiday destination for Belgian people... Thanks Athina! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Greece  is a mountainous country in Southeast Europe in the Mediterranean Sea, its capital and largest city is Athens. It is situated on the southern tip of the Balkans, and is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa.

The country shares land borders with Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey. The name Macedonia was disputed by Greece and the country to the north of Greece changed its name to North Macedonia in February 2019. The Greek coastline borders the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea as well as the Libyan and Crete Seas.
