Phocis Prefecture, Administrative region in Central Greece, Greece

Phocis Prefecture stretches from the western slopes of Mount Parnassus to the Vardousia mountain range, covering 2,120 square kilometers of terrain.

The region gained formal prefecture status in 1947, incorporating sections of ancient territories including Aetolia, Locris, and Doris into its administrative boundaries.

The region maintains connections to three distinct ancient Greek tribes - Phocians, Locrians, and Dorians - who established the Roumeliotes cultural identity.

The Mornos Dam, constructed during the 1960s, stands as a central water management structure serving multiple communities throughout the prefecture.

The population density of 17 persons per square kilometer makes Phocis Prefecture one of the most sparsely populated regions in Greece.
