Location - Maps

Greece is located on a large peninsula on the eastern edge of Europe. This peninsula is called the Balkan Peninsula. The Balkan Peninsula is surrounded by three different seas.

These seas include the Aegean, Mediterranean, and the Ionian seas. Greece is mostly at the tip of the peninsula which curves in to the Mediterranean Sea.

The peninsula is almost split in two by the surrounding seas of the Mediterranean and the Aegean seas. The southern part, called the Peloponnesus, is only connected by a small strip of land called an isthmus.
