Greece map Where is Greece? 

Greece is a country located in Southeast Europe, known for its rich history and as the cradle of Western civilization. It is composed of a mainland and numerous islands, and spans approximately 50,949 square miles (131,957 square kilometers). This size makes Greece comparable to the U.S. state of Alabama in terms of land area. As of the latest figures, Greece has a population of nearly 10.5 million people. The official name of the country is the Hellenic Republic, and Athens is its capital and largest city.

Why move to Greece? 

Greece is celebrated for its sunny Mediterranean climate, which offers warm, dry summers and mild winters. The Greek lifestyle is deeply rooted in family, tradition, and a profound appreciation for the country’s natural beauty.

Greece was endowed with thousands of charming islands, spectacular world-famous beaches and serene blue seas. Its mainland is home to history-rich towns and villages and diverse natural landscapes waiting to be explored.

Greek people are known for their hospitality and strong sense of community, often gathering for the traditional volta, or evening stroll, in towns and villages.

The Greek language not only serves as a cornerstone of the country’s vibrant culture but also as a bridge to its illustrious past, echoing the intellectual heritage of ancient Greece. This cultural depth, combined with an affordable cost of living and accessible healthcare, makes Greece an attractive destination for both living and visiting.
