Many people have a traditional image of Greece that belongs to the southern beautiful parts of the country (Mykonos, Santorini, the Aegean, etc) but Greece is big and with a rich geography, climate types, landscapes, etc.
So here you are some images from different places in Central and Northern Greece; where the Dynaric Alps pass by; as well as a few ones from the Rodopi range in Thrace, at North East Greece.
Many of these images are from http://www.astraka.net
