Central Greece (administrative region)
one of the 13 regions of Greece
Central Greece is one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. The region occupies the eastern part of the traditional region of Central Greece, including the island of Euboea. To the south it borders the regions of Attica and the Peloponnese, to the west the region of Western Greece, to the north the region of Thessaly and to the northwest it shares a small border with Epirus. Its capital city is Lamia and the largest city is Chalcis.
Administration
The region was established in the 1987 administrative reform. With the 2010 Kallikratis plan, its powers and authority were redefined and extended. Along with Thessaly, it is supervised by the Decentralized Administration of Thessaly and Central Greece based at Larissa. The region is based at Lamia and is divided into five regional units : Boeotia, Euboea, Evrytania, Phocis and Phthiotis, which are further subdivided into 25 municipalities.
Economy
The Gross domestic product (GDP) of the province was 8.8 billion € in 2018, accounting for 4.7% of the Greek economic output. GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power was €18,900 or 63% of the EU27 average in the same year.

Why this record matters
“Central Greece (administrative region)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Central, Greece and administrative provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q199580. Authority coordinates are 38.583, 22.667. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2010 and 2018.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
