The **Greece regional market index** lists the seven Greek settlements that meet the
co-location screening framework's composition gates under the current 2026-08-07 dataset —
the smallest country entry among the fifteen European countries the framework's newest data
build covers. The seven markets span the length of the Greek mainland and two islands, from
Thrace in the northeast to Crete in the south, rather than clustering around a single
metropolitan core.

## Coverage

No rank or score is published for any market in this table. Every market below qualifies
under the framework's Regional Market composition gate — a hypermarket anchor paired with at
least two of {hardware, price club, lifestyle, electronics, sport} across the market's
co-location clusters. Full methodology: [[about-regional-markets-system|Regional Markets
Intelligence System]].

The metropolitan reference point recorded for each market is the nearest major metropolitan
centre in the framework's continental reference set — a distance measurement, not a claim
that the market functions as a commuter suburb of that centre. Two markets, Gerakas and
Elefsina, genuinely sit within a short range of Athens; the remaining five reference points
run from 103 to 220 kilometres away, including one cross-border reference (Plovdiv, Bulgaria,
for Alexandroupolis) and one that crosses open water to the Greek mainland (Kanali, on
Corfu, referenced against Patras).
