Ithomi is a municipal unit (
dimotiki enotita) of the
municipality (
dimos) of
Messini within the regional unit (
perifereiaki enotita) of
Messenia in the region (
perifereia) of
Peloponnese, one of 13 regions into which
Greece has been divided. Before 2011 the same hierarchy prevailed, according to Law 2539 of 1997, the Kapodistrias Plan, except that Messenia was a nomos and Ithomi a demos, with seat in
Valyra. The lowest-level units were the same with the same populations in either system but where before 2010 they were Local Divisions, after it they were Local Communities.
