User Contributed Dictionary
Extensive Definition
The peripheries (Περιφέρειες) are the official
regional administrative
divisions of Greece. There are 13
peripheries (nine on the mainland and four island groups), which
are further subdivided into 54 prefectures.
Traditionally, and also officially until 1987, there were 10
geographical Regions
of Greece, which are still sometimes used in popular
discourse.
Bordering the periphery of Central
Macedonia there is one autonomous region, Mount Athos
(Ayion Oros, or "Holy Mountain"), a monastic state
under Greek sovereignty. It is located on the easternmost of the
three large "fingers" jutting into the Aegean from
the Chalcidice
peninsula.
