About the map

Greece is located in southern Europe along the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. It is categorized as an archipelago because it consists of about 6,000 islands. But only 227 islands are inhabited by human settlements or visited by tourists.

Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It borders several European countries including Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria to the north as well as Turkey to the northeast.

The country is nicknamed “the cradle of modern Western civilization” because of its influences today. For example, Greece shaped the future in the alphabet, libraries, democracy, law, and of course the Olympics.

1. Please include in your maps our island Kastellorizo (the smallest of Dodecanese but of great importance), at the south-east of the Greek borders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastellorizo
