Greece Region Capitals Quiz

Practice Greece region capitals by matching each periphery to its city anchor. Start with major pairs such as Attica-Athens, Central Macedonia-Thessaloniki, Western Greece-Patras, Thessaly-Larissa, Crete-Heraklion. Then add northern and central mainland capitals including Komotini, Kozani, Ioannina, and Lamia. The island set is a separate memory group: Ionian Islands-Corfu, North Aegean-Mytilene, South Aegean-Ermoupoli, Crete-Heraklion. Play this quiz after the map game so every capital is tied to a mainland, peninsula, Aegean, Ionian, or island location clue.
