I appreciate that use of these data is acknowledged including a link to
my main mountain page.
There are 18 Ultras in Greece, of which 6 are on islands.
There are 54 peaks having at least 1000 meter of prominence, of which 15 are
on islands and 4 are located on the border (Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia).
In order to climb the 50 finest restricted to be located inside mainland Greece,
one must in fact climb all peaks with prominence exceeding 900 meter, see below.
Two stars behind the rank means that I have climbed it (21/50).
