Interior of the Green Mosque of Echinos in Xanthi prefecture.

This is a list of mosques in Greece, sorted by geographic region that are open and functioning as mosques (Arabic: مَسْجِد, romanized: masjid, Greek: τζαμί, romanized: tzamí, Turkish: cami) and places of worship for Muslims in Greece.

For buildings that may have previously functioned as mosques and are either still standing and no longer used for worship, or are no longer extant, see the list of former mosques in Greece.

Construction of mosques in Greece has been documented since the period of the Ottoman Empire in Greece.[1] Most of the mosques listed were built in the late 14th to early 20th centuries, when parts of modern Greece were part of the Ottoman Empire.[2][3] Later several Christian churches throughout Greece were also converted into mosques after the Ottoman conquest, like the Hagios Demetrios church in Thessaloniki.[4] Although gradually Hagios Demetrios was converted back into a church after Greek independence and the annexation of other territories.[5]
