In south east Europe, Greece occupies part of the Balkan Peninsular and many islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas together with several larger islands like Crete and Rhodes.

Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece. It is served by the port of Piraeus and surrounded by mountains (including the Acropolis where the Parthenon stands).

There are some beautiful towns, beaches and landscapes on the Greek mainland, particularly in the Mount Pelion region. The Peloponnese area has a coastline with some excellent beaches. There are also many archeological sites (e.g. Epidavros theatre, Mycenae, Mistras and Delphi).
