Districts of Athens

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The districts of Athens , the Gitonies (neighborhoods), are often relatively small districts with their own infrastructure.

Gitonies each have their own shopping centers with shops of all kinds in streets, squares or in stoas (passages). There are almost always several periptera (kiosks), mostly on the roadside , which are often information centers for the residents (in addition to the shops) about the news of Gitonia . The Gitonia is for residents a clearer district, here knows "everyone every" and here you can feel at home and at home. This connection between the people of a district has meant that Athens and its suburbs (Greater Athens) can do almost without the usual big city slums of cities of this size.

Districts of Athens

Administratively, the municipality of Athens is divided into seven municipalities (δημοτική κοινότητα, dimotiki kinotita ) and 91 Gitonies:

  • 2. The southeast from Neos Kosmos to Stadio
  • 3. The southwest ( Observatory , Petralona , Metaxourgio , Thisio )
