Greece is located in southeastern Europe, in the Balkan Peninsula, and borders Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the east. Its territory covers an area of approximately 131,957 square kilometers, and its terrain is very varied, with mountains, valleys, and coastlines that stretch along the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
