Countries that border Greece
4 land neighbours: Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Turkey. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
4 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 4 land borders are joint 7th-most in Europe — level with Albania, Armenia, Belgium, Czechia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Turkey is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Greece, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.
