Greece is composed of the continental segment (Attica, Peloponnesian,
Central Greece, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace) and the islands
within the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
There are a large number of islands within the Aegean sea such
as those in the north-east - the Sporades Islands, the Cyclades
Islands and the Dodecanese Islands - as well as the more isolated
ones in the south such as Crete.
- The Cyclades are made up of 39 islands, of which only 24 are
inhabited.
- The Sporades, situated along Greeces central mainland
and Evia, have kept the authentic island habitat and tradition
,which has remained the same over the centuries.
- The Dodecanese is made up of twelve large islands and other
smaller ones, each with its unique characteristics and
charm.
- Finally, the ocean that stretches from the Attica coast to
that of Peloponnesian coast, is filled with yet another group
of small islands in the Saronic Gulf.
The vegetation and climate go hand in hand with the geographic
diversity of Greece: the variety of vegetation is extraordinary.
Up until today, more than 6000 plants have been found, of which
250 are in Crete. This impressive quantity is a result of the
geographic positioning of Greece, located between the continents
of Europe and Africa. The trees for example are of medium size
where you will find various species of pins, oaks, olive, fruit
and palms in abundance.
