Central Greece

Continental Greece (Greek: Στερεά Ελλάδα - Stereá Elláda, earlier Χέρσος Ελλάς - Chérsos Ellás) or Central Greece (Greek: Κεντρική Ελλάδα - Kentrikí Elláda), colloquially known as Roúmeli (Ρούμελη), is a geographical region of Greece. Its territory is divided into the administrative regions of Central Greece, Attica, and part of West Greece (Aetolia-Acarnania). Although Attica is part of the geographical region of Central Greece, it has recently been considered a separate region in itself.

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or greece:

    In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.
    Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)

    Tell Greece that her spring has been taken out of her year.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
