No, this is not Greece, this is the Seto Inland Sea and more precisely Shodoshima. If you’ve already been to the island, this picture won’t surprise you. You may even have taken a similar one.

As a reminder, Shodoshima’s microclimate is very similar to a Mediterranean climate and it’s famous for being the first (and only?) place where olive trees grow in Japan.
