Greece
,→Geographical Regions
Traditionally, Greece is divided into nine geographic regions that are differentiated by topography and regional tradition but not by political administration. The six mainland regions are [[Thrace]], [[Macedonia]], and [[Epirus]] to the north, and [[Thessaly]], [[Central Greece]], and the [[Peloponnesus]] farther south. The three island regions are the [[Ionian Islands]] off the west coast, the [[Aegean Islands]] in the [[Aegean Sea]] between the Greek mainland and Turkey, and the [[Crete|island of Crete]], which is considered a separate region.
Each region is further divided, for administrative and electoral purposes, into [[prefecture]]s. There are currently 54 prefectures.
