The country consists of a mountainous, peninsular
mainland jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea at the
southernmost tip of the Balkans, and two smaller
peninsulas projecting from it: the Chalkidiki and
the Peloponnese. Greece also has many islands, of
various sizes, the largest

and Corfu; groups of smaller islands include
the Dodecanese and the Cyclades.
