The landscape of Central Greece (Greek: Stereá Elláda) covers 24,818 km² and is also known as mainland Greece. From the region of Western Greece, the landscape includes the district of Aetolia-Acarnania, the region of Attica (with the capital Athens) and the region of Central Greece (with the districts of Boeotia, Euboea, Evrytania, Fokida and Fthiotida). It borders Epirus and Thessaly to the north, the Peloponnese peninsula to the south, the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Corinth to the west and the Aegean Sea (part of the Mediterranean) to the east.

Around a third of Greek wine is produced in central Greece. Due to the warm and dry climate, there is not a great diversity of varieties compared to the other Greek wine-growing regions. The main grape varieties are Savatiano and Roditis. This is the region and home of the famous resin wine Retsina. It is also customary to supply fresh grape must to restaurants and inns, which use it to make their own retsina. Large quantities of light white, rosé and red wines are also produced. However, there are no areas classified as POP (quality wine), only as PGE (country wine).
