Greece
The Greek peninsula, Europe’s southeastern tip consists of mainland Greece (Attica, the Peloponnese, Sterea Ellada, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace) and the islands of the Aegean and Ionian seas.
Variety is the hallmark of the Greek landscape: there are high mountains and entire mountain ranges such as the Pindus range or Mount Olympus as well as the endless lacework of the coastline and islands which give Greece such rare beauty, quite unique in the Mediterranean. Vegetation and climate conform to the variations in the geographical area. The multiplicity of plants is exceptional, some 6,000 indigenous species have so far been recorded, 250 of which flourish on Crete alone.
Another result of the country’s geographical location is also seen in its climatic range with mild winters and subtropically warm summers cooled by a system of seasonal breezes popularly called “meltemia”. Lastly, an outstanding feature of the Greek climate is its ample sunshine. It is not an exaggeration to state that the sun shines in Greece for 3,000 hours per year.
