I was trying to do a crossword
this morning and one of the clues was, if i remember correctly something
like this "Formerly of Turkey, the hill district of Greece that is the
wettest part of the country. (6 letters)."

Well, it depends on what is meant by 'districts', as Greece is divided in 9
geographical regions and 52 prefectures -we don't use the word 'district' so
often. The wettest part is the mountain range of Pindos (or 'Pindus', I'm
not sure how you'd write it in english). When it comes to geographical
regions, then Epirus (or Ipiros or Ipeiros, again it's a matter of english
dictation) should be first, or the Ionian isles -but the latter have never
been under turkish occupation, nor does their name consist of 6 letters!
Given the 'formerly of Turkey' bit, one could exclude the -otherwise very
wet- Ionian isles only. I'd go for Pindos/Pindus if it's the fourth letter
that's a 'D' after all. Hope I've helped a bit!
