The regions (Greek: γεωγραφικά διαμερίσματα, lit. geographic departments) are the traditional (and official until the 1987 administrative reform[1]) subnational divisions of Greece. The regions are still widely referred to in non-official contexts and in daily discourse. There are 10 regions[2] (seven on the mainland and three island groups), which are further subdivided into 54 prefectures.
