Greece is a country in Southeast Europe, consisting of the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula and a large number of islands. The capital and largest city is Athens. Greece shares borders with Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The mainland of Greece is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Aegean Sea. The islands together make up about 20% of the country's land area. The largest islands are Crete, Euboea (Evia), Lesbos, and Rhodes. Greece has a Mediterranean climate, characterised by hot summers and mild winters. Most rainfall occurs during the winter months, with December and January being the wettest months.
