West Suburbs

Just outside the centre of Athens, the western suburbs have their unique character, cultural identity, and top-notch entertainment.

Egaleo and Eleusis feature important archaeological finds, while Peristeri, Nikaia, and Koridalos bring out the beauty of everyday life as you wander the streets among shopping centres and squares with ample cafés and terraces. Come closer to nature with a walk in the Dimedous Botanical Gardens in Chaidari. Enjoy a stroll through Antoni’s Tritsis Environmental Awareness Park in Ilion or the lush Baroutadiko Park in Egaleo. Or explore the area’s quaint taverns and charming bars. Their tastes and colours await you!

In antiquity, Xerxes watched the historical battle of Salamis from here. At present, Egaleo is a lively area filled with the modern rhythms of today. Check out a few of its most popular sites:
