Greek Exonyms
Below is a list of modern day Greek language exonyms for European places outside of Greece and Cyprus. Place names that are not mentioned are generally referred to in Greek by their respective names in their native languages, or at the closest pronunciation a Greek speaker can get. Toponyms in italics mean that although their 'proper' name in Greek is the given one, a direct transliteration —and thus pronunciation— is much more widespread.
