In this paper the diversity of habitat types of Greece that can be characterised as grasslands is presented, according to the results of the project “Identification and description of habitat types in areas important for nature conservation” that took place from 1999 to 2001. According to these results, 17 grassland habitat types can be found in Greece, covering an area of 100.221 ha. Grassland habitat types can be found in 108 out of 237 terrestrial areas that were mapped, in which more than 100 plant associations have been identified.
