Regions of Greece
Greece is divided into 13 regions and 74 regional units, which hold 332 municipalities and 1,538 official bathing-water sites.

It is meant for anyone choosing a part of the country to visit, to live in or to buy in.
Boundaries and names come from OpenStreetMap, beaches from the Ministry of Environment register and the European Environment Agency, fires from EFFIS and Natura 2000 sites from the Ministry.
