Greek municipalities are small. Athens, the capital, has about 640,000 people inside its own municipality, while the whole Athens urban area has more than three million.
The map shows Greece alone, in detail. Each dot sits at the exact position of the city centre.
How to play
Each city is a red dot on the map from the start. The dots show where the cities are, not which one is which.
A numbered list on the left shows the ranks 1 to 10. Type the city names in any order.
You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
A correct name turns the dot and its rank green and shows the name and the population.
Local names, old names and English names count. Accents are not required.
A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the cities you missed.
What counts in this quiz
Exactly 10 cities, ranked by population of the municipality.
The figures are from 2021 census and are rounded.
Athens is the biggest city with about 640K people.
What's not included — and why
Peristeri is a municipality inside the Athens urban area. It counts as a separate city here, the same way Piraeus does.
Chania, Acharnes and Kallithea fall just outside the top 10.
Good to know
Heraklion on Crete is bigger than Piraeus, the port of Athens.
Rhodes is the only city on the list on an island in the Aegean. Heraklion is on Crete.
