Greece is located in southeastern Europe and is mountainous with narrow valleys and small plains. The climate is usually warm but receives a lot of rain, and the thin, rocky soil is not good for farming. Greece has a rich history and culture, with many ancient sites to visit like the Parthenon in Athens and Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece said to be home to the Olympian gods. The ancient Greeks believed in multiple gods to explain natural events and practiced polytheism, with Zeus as the leader.
