Yeah. The import feature to look for is the distinctive topography of a crater rim. Craters are always circular with a raised rim and sometimes a central peak. Those mountains around Gallipoli definitely look like part of a huge crater rim that goes all the way around to the spine of Greece.
And it was the mountains in Greece that defined the Greek culture. The rugged terrain there was what made them a seafaring culture. Perhaps it was all due to some big impact that happened three billion years before.
