Greece is located in southeast Europe, almost completely surrounded by seas.

The capital of this Greek-speaking country is Athens. Maybe you've heard of it-Athens is named after the Greek goddess Athena.

There's a very Mediterranean climate-that means it's nice and warm most often.

There are 11,000,000 people living in Greece.

Most people in Greece are Orthodox Christians.

The first Olympic game was held in Olympia, a city in Greece.

The Greek flag is made up of five sky blue stripes, five white stripes and a white cross on a bright blue background.

Some English words come from the Greek language, such as olive, metaphor, and encylopedia.
