Start near the middle of Greece and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 39.0805° S, 158.1937° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is New Zealand 🇳🇿, roughly 1,583 km (984 miles) east — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Napier, New Zealand, about 2,135 km (1,327 miles) from the point.
