You can search the web,you can search the wikipedia,and if you have google-earth.In general,Greece's area is about 131,990 square km.It is a country of Balcanic peninsula.Greece borders in northern-west with Albania,in north with Fyrom and Bulgaria,in east with Turkey.It has sea all over it.There is the Aegean Sea in east,the Ionian sea in west and southern of Crete there is Libyan Sea.It is a land with many different things.Besides the wonderful islands and the great beaches you could find here,the mainland is full of mountains.There are wonderful winter spots that you can find in Greece.Of course,most of the people don't know that.They consider Greece as a summer vacations place.But there are so many nice places for the winter too.
The capital of Greece is Athens in the prefecture of Attica and co-capital is Thessaloniki in Makedonia (be careful,I am talking about the real Makedonia in Greece,not the country of Fyrom).Athens and Thessaloniki are the largest cities of Greece.
The religion in Greece is Christian Orthodox.People in Greece are of Greek nationality,at least the 95% of population.The rest are people from Albania or middle east or Africa that work here.
Spoken language the Greek language.
You can also search the web as I have told you above.
If you want any further help you can send me a mail and I will be very glad to help you in whatever.
If you ever come in Greece you will find out that it is a small country but you need a life time to explore it.It has many many things to see and admire.Beside the natural beauty of the land,there are million of monuments,specially of ancient and byzantine era.Wherever you go,there is something of great historical value to see.Parthenon in Acropolis of Athens,the temple of Delphi in the mountain of Parnassos,the royal tomb of king Philipp of Makedonia,Vergina southern of Thessaloniki are some examples.
I travel my own country since I was born,I am almost 30 and I find all the time new things,wonderful things.
I wish I helped you my friend!
By the way, ignore Solun who wrote above.He is a fanatic enemy of Greece.He is obsessed with our country.You can see that he is not Greek and he answers only questions in category "Greece".

Greece is a European country. It is between Italy and Turkey. It had about 12,000,000 people and the capital city is ATHENS, the ancient city that democrasy started, so you can understand that this occured B.C...
I hope you know the 12 Gods of Olympus that existed in ancient Greece like Zeus, Hermes, Posidon, Athena, Afrodite...
It is a Medditeranean country and has many islands in the Agean sea and Ionian sea that are crowded in summer periods like Corfu, Phodes, Skiathos, Crete, Zante, Mykonos.
Plus it has mountains like Pilio, Araxova and Parnassos, where you can go for skiing in winter time... I hope that I helped you a lot...
