What are the Regions of Greece?

Greece is divided into 13 regions, such as Attica, Central Macedonia and Crete. This quiz also includes Mount Athos, a self-governing community of Orthodox monasteries.

  • The regions were created in 1987 as districts of the national government.
  • They grouped together the country's prefectures.
  • They became self-governing in 2011 under the Kallikratis reform, with elected governors and councils.
  • The same reform abolished the old prefectures.
  • Most regions follow historic areas, such as Thessaly, Epirus and the Peloponnese.

Current quiz contains 14 administrative regions: Athos, Attica, Central Greece, Central Macedonia, Crete, East Macedonia and Thrace, Epirus, Ionian Islands, North Aegean, Peloponnese, South Aegean, Thessaly, West Greece, West Macedonia.
