🇬🇷 How to recognise Greece in Street View
Greece is in the Balkans. Here's how to tell you've landed in Greece when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.

| Signs in | Greek |
| Region | the Balkans |

Clues to look for
The Greek alphabet (α, β, γ, Σ, Ω) gives it away, often with English underneath. Expect dry hills, olive trees, white or cream houses, and small roadside shrines.
Driving side
Cars in Greece drive on the right. So do Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo, which are also in the Balkans. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Greece
If you guess a neighbour of Greece you still score 2 points, and any other country in the Balkans scores 1 point.
