Welcome to Greece

FLAG :

General Description : Greece (Greek: ????da [e?'laða] or ????? [e?'las]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: ???????? ??µ???at?a [e??lini'ci ðimo?kra'ti?a]),[1] is known to be a country situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the east. Did you know that the Aegean Sea lies to the east and south of mainland Greece, while the Ionian Sea lies to the west. Both parts of the Eastern Mediterranean basin feature a vast number of islands.

CLIMATE : Dry Mediterranean Note that this climate occurs in the Aegean Islands, especially the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, southern and parts of central Evia, low lying places of Attica, the eastern and south Peloponnese and the low lying places of Crete. During the summer, the weather is known to be almost always sunny, dry and any and all precipitation -that is rare- falls in the form of showers or thunderstorms from cumuliform cloud. Did you know that the air is mostly hot around the time during the day and pleasantly warm around the time during the night. Heatwaves can occur, but they are and have always been mostly quite mild at the coastal areas, where the Etesian winds blow all over the summer. Winters are and have always been wet and any and all falling snow does not last too long, especially in the south facing slopes. Rain in winter is frequently persistent and can cause flash floods.
