Greece, officially Hellenic Republic, occupies the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula and borders on the Ionian Sea in the west, on the Mediterranean Sea in the south, on the Aegean Sea in the east, on Turkey and Bulgaria in the northeast, on Macedonia in the north, and on Albania in the northwest. Athens is its capital and largest city. About 75% of Greece is mountainous and only about 20% of the land is arable. The country falls into four main geographical regions. Northern Greece includes portions of historic Epirus, Macedonia, and Thrace. It takes in part of the Pindus Mts.; low-lying plains along the lower Nestos and Struma rivers; and the Khalkidhikí peninsula, on which Thessaloníki, Greece’s second largest city, is located. Central Greece includes the low-lying plains of Thessaly, Attica, and Boeotia; Mount Olympus, the highest point in Greece; and Athens. Southern Greece is made up of the Peloponnesus. The fourth region of Greece comprises numerous islands, the most notable of which are Crete in the Mediterranean; Kérkira, Kefallinía, Zákinthos, Lefkás, and Itháki in the Ionian Sea; and the Cyclades, the Northern Sporades, the Dodecanese, including Rhodes, Évvoia, Lesbos, Khíos, Sámos, Límnos, Samothrace, and Thásos in the Aegean. It is recommended to rent a car at Greek airports if visitors want to see different parts of Greece. Car rental agency is located also at touristed cities. Despite its small size, Greece has a varied climate. Most of the country, including all coastal areas, enjoys a so-called Mediterranean climate, almost identical to much of California. The most pleasant weather occurs in May-June and September-October. The warmest time of the year starts in mid-July and generally lasts until mid-August. Greek cuisine is famous for its Greek salad, Gyros, Tzatziki and olive oil. For dessert, ask for baklava, thin layers of pastry with honey and chopped nuts; or galaktoboureko, a custard pie.
