Nope. I typed it at first but it is entirely surrounded by Turkey. It doesn't border Greece at all.

The Salzburg one isnt fully correct. Berg means mountain in German, its the same in Dutch and Afrikaans and a few other Germanic languages. In some context it can mean like a settlement. Just felt like a stretch saying castle.

Just because Burg and Berg share 3 letters doesn't mean they are the same word.

Burg is a type of castle. Berg is a mountain. Very different things.

I read pants, but it meant trousers.

I couldn't think of many pant varieties, and certainly not an island called y-front.
