'''Boeotia''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: ''Βοιωτία'' -''Voiotía'', also ''Viotia'') is one of the fifty-one [[prefecture|prefectures of Greece]]. It is within the [[Central Greece]] periphery. Its area was known in ancient times as Boeotia. Its capital is [[Livadeia]] and the second largest city is [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]]. It has access to the island of [[Euboea]] via two bridges, one that runs through [[Chalkida]] and one bypasses it with another road via [[Athens]]. Its bounding prefectures are [[Phocis]] in the west, [[Phthiotis]] in the north and northwest, Euboea in the east via a bay and a gulf and [[Attica]] in the south.

It has two lakes located northeast, one in [[2002]] revealed a lost village.

==Geography==

Its geography includes part of the [[Parnitha]] ranges in the southwest with a huge mining area, one of the largest in the southeast and mountains in the south including [[Helicon]] and more cover the west including mount [[Parnassus]] where the prefecture's only skiing resort is located and more in the north with a few forests and hills in the east. Its longest river, the [[Cephissus (Boeotia)|Cephissus]] valley is in the central part is where most of the low-lying areas of Boeotia lie. Two lakes are in the northeast and was considered a wetland.
