Metamorfosi

Characteristics

Metamorfosi is a quiet area in the northern suburbs of Athens. It is located south of Kifissia and is 12 kilometers from the center of Athens. It covers an area of 5.5 square kilometers. Initially, it was administratively under the Municipality of Athens, until 1933, when the community of Koukouvaounes was established. The community was renamed to Metamorfosi in 1957, to finally be promoted to the Municipality of Metamorfosi in 1972. It has an average altitude of 170 meters.

Metamorfosi was once a known as a place for recreation for Athenians, both because of its climate and because of the many taverns that existed in the area, which was then a village on the rural outskirts of Athens. Today, it has evolved into a complete modern Municipality, with shops, parks and squares, and sports facilities. It recently acquired a second Lyceum.
