GREVENA PREFECTURE

'Grevena' (Greek: Γρεβενά) is a prefecture in Greece. Its capital is the city of Grevena. Much of the prefecture is mountainous. Grevena is one of the least populated prefectures in Greece. It was created in 1967 out of the old Grevena-Kozani prefecture in which the capital was Kozani. Grevena has no provinces and borders with the prefectures of Ioannina (Epirus) to the west, Kastoria to the northwest, Kozani to the north and east, Larissa to the southeast and Trikala to the south. The mountains include Lygkio to the west, Chasia to the southwest and the south and Vourinos to the northeast. The longest river is Aliakmon which flows to its east, the central part and the northern part. The region's economy relies on farming and agriculture, ecotourism, forest industry and the ski resort of Vasilitsa, which is a popular destination for winter holidays.
