The periphery of Continental Greece (Greek: Στερεά Ελλάδα - Stereá Elláda) or Central Greece (Greek: Κεντρική Ελλάδα) is one of the thirteen peripheries of Greece. It is divided into the prefectures of Euboea, Evrytania, Phocis, Phthiotis, and Boeotia. The periphery occupies the eastern half of Central Greece, to the north of Attica and the Peloponnese, to the east of the periphery of West Greece and to the south of Thessaly and Epirus. The region is one of the most mountainous in Greece.
