As of 2011-01-01, the departments were abolished as governmental units. The 13 regions, or peripheries, remain. There are also seven "decentralized administrations", or dioikeseis (dioceses), each containing one or more peripheries. The number of municipalities was reduced from 1,033 to 325. Mount Athos is not part of any periphery or diocese. This reorganization is called the "Kallikratis plan", in honor of an ancient Greek architect.

Primary subdivisions:

Further subdivisions:
The decentralized administrations are divided into...
- 13 periphereies (sing. periphereia, peripheries), which existed before the Kallikratis plan but with lesser authority. These are further divided into
- 74 periphereiakes enotites (sing. periphereiaki enotita: peripheral units), most of which match the former departments, and which have no administrative function under the new plan. They are in turn subdivided into
- 325 demoi (sing. demos: municipalities).
- Mount Athos is autonomous, and not included in any of these sets of divisions.
Greece has also defined larger units called diamerismata (regions). The regions have few or no administrative functions. Their purposes include education, tourism, and historic pride.
