Grevena Regional Unit, Administrative division in Western Macedonia, Greece.
Grevena Regional Unit is an administrative division in northwestern Greece that spans mountainous terrain with the Pindus range and the Haliacmon river. The landscape consists mainly of highlands with scattered villages and open valleys.
The territory was established as an administrative unit in 1964 from sections of neighboring districts. A major restructuring occurred in 2011 when Greece reorganized its administrative divisions.
Local festivals showcase handmade traditions like cheese production and sheep herding, which continue in the villages of this region. These practices shape daily life and connect communities through shared agricultural values.
The A2 motorway connects the territory directly to major cities, making travel to Thessaloniki or the Turkish border straightforward. Visitors should know that the region is mostly rural, and smaller villages offer limited services.
This region has one of the lowest population densities in Greece, giving it a quiet and sparsely inhabited character. This quality makes it appealing to those seeking remote, thinly populated mountain areas.
