What are the Provinces of Greece?

The provinces in this quiz are Greece's former prefectures (nomoi), the country's main local government units for most of its modern history, along with the monastic community of Mount Athos.

  • The first ten prefectures were created in 1833, soon after Greek independence.
  • New ones were added as Greece gained territory: the Ionian Islands in 1864 and Thessaly in 1881.
  • Macedonia, Epirus and Crete followed after the Balkan Wars of 1912–13, and the Dodecanese in 1947.
  • The Kallikratis reform abolished the prefectures in 2011.
  • They were replaced by 13 regions and 74 regional units, many following the old prefecture boundaries.
