The Geography of Greece
Geography Shapes Ancient Greek Life
ESSENTIAL QUESTION What were the main features of the geography of Greece?
The mainland of Greece sticks out into the Mediterranean Sea. It is a peninsula , a body of land that has water on three sides. Greece also includes thousands of islands.
A gulf of water almost divides the Greek peninsula in two. The southern tip forms a second peninsula called the Peloponnesus (pehl•uh•puh•NEE•suhs). A narrow strip of land called an isthmus (IHS•muhs) links the Peloponnesus to the rest of Greece.
