Offlate I see many Indians visiting Greece. Greece is an exotic destination! Through all the photography of houses there, I really wish to visit a home in the country and see how they live! Most houses having a blue coloured doors and windows make me curious! Upon my research, I realized that this is their way to ward off from evil.
Well, Greece is a neighbour to Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Turkey. The country is flourishing with beautiful lakes, mountains and forests. Being the southernmost country in Europe, it is bestowed with blue Aegean Sea to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Ionian Sea to the west. All of Greece is less than 140 kilometers away from water. People there enjoy 9000 miles of coastline which is 10th longest coastline in the world! Since I am exploring about fascinating facts of various countries of the world, I wanted to do the same for Greece and know why it has become one of the most favoured destinations for Indians. I being a nature lover, gathered some natural facts which fascinate. So, I am presenting to you-
2. There are three main geographical regions - the mainland, the islands and the Peloponnese (the large peninsula south of the mainland).
3. We can't navigate in rivers due mountainous terrain which comprises 80% of Greece.
4. Mount Olympus having a heighest peak of 2917 meters has over 50 peaks. Ancient people believed this mountain to be the abode of Gods!
