From 1 January 2011, in accordance with the Kallikratis Plan, the administrative system of Greece was drastically changed. The former 13 regions, 54 prefectures and 1033 municipalities and communities were replaced by 7 decentralized administrations (αποκεντρωμένες διοικήσεις), 13 regions (περιφέρειες, unchanged), 74 regional units (περιφερειακές ενότητες) and 325 municipalities (δήμοι), further subdivided into municipal units (δημοτικές ενότητες).
Olivier Touzeau, 27 October 2012
The Greek Law only provides for the emblems-logos of the municipalities.
Nothing about flags. According to the law firstly there must be a decision by
the Municipality’s Council and then there must be the positive assent of the
Toponymy (or Toponymics’) Council (Συμβούλιο Τοπωνυμιών) which is under the
Interior Ministry.
Paris Renesis, 12 December 2024
The decentralized administrations are each made of two or three regions, except Attica and Crete, which are made of a single region of the same name.
