The history of this eternally affluent Athenian suburb, with its good climate, aesthetically beautiful environment, abundant waters, and relatively short distance from Athens, dates back to ancient Greece.
Over the past century, the grand mansions of Kifissia have been home to aristocrats, politicians, and some of the country’s brightest intellects, including the revolutionary Pavlos Melas, the Greek diplomat, philosopher, and writer Ion Dragoumis, the author Penelope Delta, and Charilaos Trikoupis, one of the most significant political figures in the history of Modern Greece.
To this day, Kifissia offers an unparalleled location with its charming tree-lined streets and serene parks, its high-end designer boutiques, atmospheric cafes, and gourmet restaurants, two of the city’s oldest open-air cinemas, excellent transport links to downtown Athens, and a host of international schools. A lush, intimate suburb with a sophisticated atmosphere and an upscale character, Kifisia is truly an exceptional place to call home. It is equally loved by families who have lived here for three- or four generations as it is by newcomers.
