希臘

The spelling is an example of jukujikun (熟字訓), from Chinese 希臘 which derives from Ancient Greek Ἑλλάς (Hellás), not Latin Graecia from which Japanese ギリシャ (Girisha)/ギリシア (Girishia) derives.

希臘 (katakana ギリシャ, rōmaji Girisha, alternative reading ギリシア, rōmaji Girishia)

The first character as an abbreviation (希) is more common than the full kanji spelling.
