The regional unit Grevena is subdivided into 2 municipalities. These are (number as in the map in the infobox):[1]
Deskati (2)
Grevena (1)
Prefecture
Grevena was created as a prefecture (Greek: Νομός Γρεβενών) in 1964, out of parts of the prefectures of Kozani and Larissa. As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Grevena was created out of the former prefecture Grevena. The prefecture had the same territory as the present regional unit. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table below.[1]
