This Greek City Is Disappearing Faster Than Any Other — The Alarming Reason Why

April 8, 2025

One Greek city has found itself at the top of a sobering list, marking the most significant population decrease in the country in recent years.

According to Greek broadcaster SKAI and its show "Where Greece Exists", the city of Grevena has seen the steepest population drop nationwide, a stark reflection of the growing demographic crisis. With birth rates plummeting, entire villages around the region are gradually being emptied.

This demographic shift is not just about numbers—it’s affecting daily life in profound ways. In Grevena, the hometown of Olympic champion Miltos Tentoglou, the situation in local schools highlights the broader challenges. Most rural schools in the region have shut down due to lack of students, forcing the few remaining children to travel long distances every day just to attend school in the city.

While Greece as a whole grapples with the consequences of an aging population and declining birth rates, Grevena has become a stark example of the urgency of the issue—and a call for action before more communities fade away.
