Maps of Greece and the Greek islands<\/h2>\n\n\n

The area of Greece, as we see on the following map, located at the most southerly part of the Balkan Peninsula and in the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea. To the north, borders Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria. To the east, it borders the European part of Turkey.<\/p>\n

The Ionian Sea lies to the west of Greece, while the Aegean Sea is to the east.\u00a0To the south is the Libyan Sea. For more information about the\u00a0geography of Greece<\/strong>,<\/a>\u00a0including details about its lakes, rivers, and mountains, as well as the geomorphology of the country, you can refer to the\u00a0physical map of Greece.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With a coastline of 13,676 km, the country is boasting the longest coastline in the Mediterranean. Most of the Greek islands and islets are situated in the Aegean Sea, while a small number of islands are in the Ionian Sea.<\/p>\n

In general, Greece is not densely inhabited. With a total surface area of 132,000 sq. km, Greece has a population of about 11,000,000 inhabitants. This is partly because much of the Greek mainland is mountainous, with a few plateaus in Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace, and a large part of the country consists of islands.<\/p>\n

Therefore, most of Greece\u2019s population is concentrated in the big urban centres, with Athens and its greater area, including Piraeus, housing one-third of the Greek population. This is followed by Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, and Larissa.<\/p>\n\n\n
