Greece is a mountainous peninsula with thousands of islands. The Pindus Mountains run down the mainland like a spine, and Mt. Olympus, the highest peak, rises near the east coast. The Peloponnese, in the south, is a large peninsula joined to the mainland by the narrow Isthmus of Corinth. The coastline is long and deeply indented, and no part of the country is far from the sea. The islands lie in the Aegean Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west. Crete, the largest, is in the south.

Built from real data, not stock images.
The terrain is drawn from a global elevation model (Mapzen terrain tiles, built from NASA SRTM and other public surveys). Coastlines, rivers, lakes and feature names come from Natural Earth. The colors are spread over this country’s own elevation range, so its terrain shows clearly whether it is flat or mountainous.
