The traditionalgeographic regions of Greece (Greek:γεωγραφικά διαμερίσματα,lit. 'geographic departments') are the country's main historical-geographic regions, and were also official administrativeregional subdivisions ofGreece until the 1987 administrative reform.[1] Despite their replacement as first-level administrative units by only partly identicaladministrative regions (Greek:περιφέρειες), the nine traditional geographic regions—six on the mainland and three island groups—are still widely referred to in unofficial contexts and in daily discourse.

As of 2011[update], the officialadministrative divisions of Greece consist of 13 regions (Greek:περιφέρειες)—nine on the mainland and four island groups—which are further subdivided into 74regional units and 325municipalities. Formerly, there were also 54prefectures or prefectural-level administrations.

The largest of the geographical regions in size isMacedonia and the largest in population isCentral Greece. TheIonian Islands are the smallest in both size and population.
