REAL ESTATE IN ATHENS GREECE
Athens is the capital city of Athens prefecture of
Attica region and Greece. Located in Central Greece is a robust
economic, cultural and administrative centre of the country. It was
named after the goddess Athena, which was its protector. Athens
today is a modern city but also famous, as in ancient times was
powerful city-state and a major centre of culture is considered the
most historic city of Europe. It is known worldwide for its
historical monuments saved over the centuries. Historic seaport of
the city is the port of Piraeus.
The conurbation area occupies 412,000 acres covering the basin
surrounded by mountains Egaleo, Parnitha, Penteli and Ymittos. The
total population is approximately 1 / 3 of the total population of
Greece and is in accordance with the census of 2001 to 3,361,806.
The altitude at the centre of the city is estimated at 20 meters
from sea level, while the topography of the basin is relatively
diverse, with lofiskous and mountains.
This is a fairly urbanised city, quite accurate and with the lowest
rates of green representing the inhabitants of Europe. In recent
years there have been many projects reversal of the problems facing
metropolitan and development philosophy seems to follow the
development path of other known cities worldwide.
Athens stretched out in the central plain of Attica, the so-called
basin, surrounded by the Mount Egaleo to the west, Mount Parnitha in
the north, Penteli to voreianatolika and Ymitto to the east, while
washed by the Saronic Gulf in the southwest. Since Athens has
effectively occupy the entire valley is very difficult to extend
further because of natural borders. However, the ever-expanding
suburbs at the edges of the city, and today Pallini, along with the
character of the autonomous city of eastern Attica, is the eastern
edge of the capital, Agios Stefanos the northeastern, northern
Acharnes, Liosia the northwest, west Muscat and Varkiza the south.
The city is split by the Kifissos river which springs from helping
Pentelis-Parnithos until spilt in faliriko bay saronikou and
separates from Piraeus.
The terrain in Athens often creates the phenomenon of temperature
reversal which partially responsible for air pollution problems. Los
Angeles has roughly the same topography and similar traffic
philosophy and presents similar problems. The soil is rocky and not
very fertile .
