Traditional settlements in Greece are considered those settlements that have retained their unchanged image of the past, as well as their local character. Around 830 traditional settlements have been designated under the responsibility of the Ministry for the Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works, while the Deputy Minister for Macedonia and Thrace and the Ministry for the Aegean also have the authority to declare traditional settlements.
