Greek Geography

Greece Greece is located in southern Europe, bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, between Albania and Turkey. It is about the size of the state of Alabama. It has mostly mountains with ranges extending into the sea as peninsulas or chains of islands. The climate is mild. Many of the names of its geographical features come from mythology.

Mount Olympus The home of the gods and goddesses. The highest mountain in Greece. The highest peak is called Mytikas at 9,570 feet.

The Icarian Sea & Island The sea gets its name from the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. This is where Icarus plunged to his death. The myth also claims that Daedalus buried his son on what is now called the Icarian island.

Athens Capital of Greece. Largest city in Greece. Named after the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena.

Aegean Sea The Aegean Sea is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea, located between the Greek peninsula and Anatolia. It was said to be named after King Aegeus who killed himself in it because he thought his son Theseues was killed by the Minotaur.

Crete Largest of the Greek islands. According to myth, Zeus was born and King Minos kept the Minotaur.

Delphi City in Greece. Location of the temple of Apollo. Apollo first came there in the form of a dolphin (womb fish) with three priestesses. Delphi means “womb”.
