Central Greece, Geographic region in mainland Greece

Central Greece extends across the southern part of the Greek mainland, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and the island of Euboea across its eastern coast.

The region was previously known as Roumeli during the Ottoman Empire period, derived from Rum-eli, which designated the European territories under Ottoman control.

The inhabitants of Central Greece maintain strong connections to their geographic identity, using traditional regional names despite administrative changes implemented in 1987.

The area contains multiple agricultural zones, with the Kifisós River valley in Boeotia supporting cotton production and the Sperkhiós valley near Lamía yielding crops.

The Mornos River system supplies water to Athens through an aqueduct network constructed in the 1970s, supplementing the Lake of Marathon water resources.
