Municipalities and communities of Greece

The municipalities of Greece (Greek: δήμοι, romanized: dímoi [ˈðimi]) are the lowest level of government within the organizational structure of the state.

In the case of mergers, local village or town councils (like communal quarters) may still exist to provide feedback and ideas to the larger governing body.

The only other possibility for direct input by citizens is if the local municipality establishes district councils or if the community president calls a people's assembly to discuss issues of concern.

24) states that municipalities and communities have responsibility for the administration of their local jurisdiction as it pertains to the social, financial, cultural and spiritual interests of its citizens.

For smaller populated communities and municipalities, the State has also allocated additional revenue based on other expenses (e.g. the cost of supplying water, maintaining road networks, and climate).

Local governments can also initiate or participate in entrepreneurial activities that include a wide range of possible partnerships.
