GuessTheDot is a free geography guessing game: you get a place name and a map full of dots, then click the one you think is right.

These are the places most people already know by name, capitals and major hubs with a large population. They tend to sit on a coastline, a river, or a border, and their outline on the map is usually distinctive.

In Greece this set is spread across 5 different regions, with Attica home to the most of them (7).

How this category is defined

Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.

Tips for this category

Look for proximity to water or a border first: big cities rarely sit in the middle of nowhere.
If two dots look close together, the bigger one on a real map is usually the one with more infrastructure around it, not necessarily the one nearer the center.
