Peripheries
Greece consists of 13 administrative regions known as peripheries, which subdivide further into the 54 prefectures (nomoi, singular — nomos). For more detailed maps of the peripheries and/or prefectures, see the Peripheries of Greece or Prefectures of Greece articles.
Autonomous region
Beyond these one autonomous region exists: Mount Athos (Agio Oros — Holy Mountain) in Macedonia, a monastic state under Greek sovereignty.
Prefectures
The 54 nomoi subdivide into 147 eparchies (singular eparchia), which contain 1,033 municipalities and communities: 900 urban municipalities (demoi) and 133 rural communities (koinotetes). Before 1999, Greece's local government structure featured 5,775 local authorities: 457 demoi and 5,318 koinotetes, subdivided into 12,817 localities (oikismoi).
