| has gloss | eng: The provinces of Greece (, "eparchy") were sub-divisions of some the country's prefectures. From 1887, the provinces were abolished as actual administrative units, but were retained for some state services, especially finance services and education, as well as for electoral purposes. Before the Second World War, there were 139 provinces, and after the war, with the addition of the Dodecanese Islands, their number grew to 147. According to the Article 7 of the Code of Prefectural Self-Government (Presidential Decree 30/1996), the provinces constituted a "particular administrative district" within the wider "administrative district" of the prefectures. The provinces were finally abolished after the 2006 local elections, in line with Law 2539/1997, as part of the wide-ranging administrative reform known as the "Kapodistrias Project", and replaced by enlarged municipalities (demoi). |

| has gloss | deu: Die Provinz (, Eparchía) war im weitgehend zentralistisch verfassten Griechenland bis zur griechischen Gemeindereform von 1997 („Programm Ioannis Kapodistrias“ bzw. , Schedio Kapodistria) die Gebietskörperschaft unter der Ebene der Präfekturen (Nomi). Einige Gemeinden waren nicht Teil einer Provinz, sondern neben den Provinzen direkt der Präfektur untergeordnet. In der Präfektur Attika gab es eine große Provinz, die die Hauptstadt Athen und ihre Vorstädte umfasste und über die Grenzen der attischen Präfekturbezirke hinausreichte. Im Zuge der Schaffung zahlreicher flächenmäßig großer Gemeinden aus mehreren Ortschaften verloren die Provinzen ihre Bedeutung und wurden 1999 abgeschafft. Auf der Ebene der Provinzen gab es 147 Gebiete, im Einzelnen: |

Enkelte kommuner var ikke del av en provins, men ved siden av provinsene direkte underordnet prefekturet. I prefekturet Attika var det en provins som omfattet hovedstaden Athen med forsteder og som strakte seg utover det attiske prefekturområdet. Som følge av opprettelsen av tallrike arealmessig store kommuner mistet provinsene sin betydning og ble i 1999 avskaffet. På provinsnivå fantes følgende 147 områder: |
