WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -The mainland of Greece is a peninsula, an area of land surrounded on three sides by water. But the Greek peninsula is very irregular. It’s one big peninsula made up of a series of smaller peninsulas. The land and sea intertwine like your hand and fingers in a bowl of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peninsula is called the Peloponnesus. The largest island, Crete, lies in the Mediterranean Sea, south of the mainland.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Greece has the longest coastline in Europe and is the southernmost country in Europe. The mainland has rugged mountains, forests, and lakes, but the country is well known for the thousands of islands dotting the blue Aegean Sea to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Ionian Sea to the west.
