Ah, Greece, a place of beauty and inspiration. Shakespeare set two of his plays in this wonderful land: "Troilus and Cressida" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Both plays capture the essence of Greece's rich history and mythology, creating a magical world for us to explore and enjoy.
The most common are England, Italy and Greece, but there are some in France, one in Denmark, one in Austria, and one in Egypt.
Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure is set in Vienna. It is one of the very few plays not set at least partly in either Italy, Britain, or Greece. The other one is Hamlet.
Shakespeare wrote all his plays in England. They are not all set in England, though.
Shakespeare's plays are set in various locations, often reflecting the historical and fictional contexts of the stories. For example, "Romeo and Juliet" takes place in Verona, Italy, while "Hamlet" is set in Denmark, specifically at Elsinore Castle. Other plays, like "A Midsummer Night's Dream," are set in a magical forest near Athens, Greece. Overall, the settings often enhance the themes and characters of the plays.
If you mean "Did Shakespeare invent the concept of plays?" the answer is no, he sure did not. People were writing plays in Greece 1800 years and more before Shakespeare was born. They had plays in Rome too, but the Romans weren't very good at drama, and ultimately plays had to be reinvented. However, English drama was certainly reinvented by the time Shakespeare was born, although it was improving all the time. If you mean "Did Shakespeare write plays?" the answer is of course yes. If he hadn't written plays you would never have heard of him.
Pericles is set in Greece. So is Timon of Athens. So you see there was more than one set in Greece. Did I mention the Comedy of Errors?

Shakespeare wrote all of his plays in England, since he lived his entire life there. He also set more of his plays in England than anywhere else.
Yes, they were done in English but they were set all over the world. No Shakespeare's was English and lived in England, so all his plays was English
