Best Answer

Eighty percent of mainland Greece is mountainous, which explains why it was such a poor country and the cities had to export their surplus population to colonise the Mediterranean coastline.

The principal ranges in descending order are: Olympus 2917 metres, Pindus, Voras, Ida, Taygetus, Kylleni, Aroania, Varnous, Falakro, Erymanthos, Orvilos, Pieros, Dikti, Verno, Askio 2111 metres. The rest are below 2000 metres.
