The 14 regions of Greece
Greece has 14 regions. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Greek name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Greek name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the regions
A region is the largest unit of local government in Greece. The 13 regions divide further into regional units.
Mount Athos is a self-governed monastic area under Greek sovereignty. Only monks live there.
About one in three Greeks lives in Attica, the region around Athens.
