How to spot Greece from satellite imagery

Greece has a deeply indented mainland coast and many islands in the Aegean and Ionian seas. The Peloponnese has a distinctive set of southward-pointing peninsulas, while Crete stretches east-west farther south. Mountains occupy much of the mainland interior.

Trace the Peloponnese and find the narrow connection near Corinth. Compare its coastline with Crete at the same scale.
