I think we shouldn't add to this list, greek villages like Ouranoupolis or neighbourhoods of cities like Petralona. If someone wants to list these he can make a different list in a different page.

We shouldn't delete other's contributions that aren't wrong without a notice of the reason. Sofos 20 Jan 2004


Before we start listing cities, we should define what a city is. Is there a defenition in greek census data for what constitutes a "city"? Aggelophoros 03:47, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)


This is properly not a list of cities, but municipalities. It can hardly be argued that Ilion or Peristeri are cities. They are part of the metropolitan complex of Athens. Furthermore, they do belong to the prefecture of Athens. I dont particularly object to listing them here, as a metropolitan municipality of Athens has not been created, but it woul be useful to indicate their de facto status as parts of Athens.

Someone has already italicized them, and I added ¹ or ² to indicate Athens or Thessaloniki, respectively.
Although, to be honest, I, too, would prefer it if metropolitan complexes, rather than municipalities, were listed wrt large cities. :That way we would have a true list of cities all over Greece, rather than a catalogue of Athens and Thessaloniki suburbs, which the entry reads like currently.
