1. Although the entire Balkans, as a whole, are a peninsula of roughly all or parts of 12 countries, we'll break them down some and ask a question about a peninsula in just one individual country. Karaburun Peninsula is almost 10 miles long and varies in width from 3 - 4.5 miles. It has no population. In what country is this strange little peninsula?
