Greece Classic [Matte Laminated] (National Geographic Reference Map)

National Geographic's wall map of Greece and the Aegean is one of the largest and most detailed maps of the area. The signature Classic style design uses a bright, easy-to-read color palette and stunning shaded relief. Coverage includes mainland Greece along with areas of bordering Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Surrounding waterways, like the Aegean and Ionian Seas, are shown with depth curves and soundings along with hundreds of islands, including Crete, Rhodes, and Euboea. Also shown are thousands of place names, accurate boundaries, national parks, ruins, and major infrastructure networks such as roads, highways, airports, railroads, canals, and ferry routes.

The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive. Matte Laminate is a more professional and elegant finish. The velvety texture of the finish makes for a pleasant tactile experience. The matte soft finish is less reflective than gloss, giving a more natural look. The reduced shine absorbs more small scratches and scuffs without looking "beat up".

The map is packaged in a two inch diameter clear plastic tube. The tube has a decorative label showing a thumbnail of the map with dimensions and other pertinent information.
