Greece
Greece, situated at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, shares its borders with Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The country is surrounded by four seas: the Aegean, Cretan, Ionian, and Mediterranean. Renowned for its 2,500 islands—including Crete and the Cyclades—Greece boasts a coastline stretching 14,880 km. As the cradle of Western civilization, it offers visitors 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Summer temperatures often reach 30 °C, making it a popular destination for beach holidays. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, with warm, pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
