Location Of Municipalities Within The Dodecanese Islands
In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface or elsewhere.

An area within a town, such as Covent Garden in London, also almost always has some ambiguity as to its extent. In geography, location is considered to be more precise than "place". Relative location A relative location, or situation, is described as a displacement from another site. An example is "3 miles northwest of Seattle". Absolute location An absolute locati ...
