Greece is on the Mediterranean, but there are numerous places on the Mediterranean (Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Croatia, Italy, Spain, Morocco, etc.) that are not Greek.
In the US, there is a tendency to describe Greek food as Mediterranean since most other people around the Mediterranean use similar ingredients to the Greeks and Greek food is more common and known to Americans than other Non-European Mediterranean cuisines, such as Turkish, Lebanese, Egyptian, etc. Conversely, the European Mediterranean countries of Italy, France, and Spain have particular cuisines that Americans are already quite familiar with, so those are marketed under their own names.
