Excellent 1st-floor apartment near Rafina beach

Rafina lies on the coast of Eastern Attica and is the second largest port in the prefecture after Piraeus, with heavy traffic to the Cyclades. In recent years Rafina has experienced major growth and is essentially a suburb of Athens, thanks to the Attiki Odos motorway, which improved access from the city center as it connects with Marathon Avenue in nearby Pikermi. It is about 25 km from Athens.

The main road of Eastern Attica, Marathon Avenue, crosses it to the west, while Am. Fleming Avenue starts from Marathon Avenue and, a short distance later, ends in the city center and the port. The city covers an area of 19,000 stremmas and its population amounts to 12,168 residents, according to the 2011 Census, while in the summer months it reaches 30,000–50,000.

It is densely populated in the center near the port but has large areas with parks and green spaces, as well as two large beaches: the first next to the port and the second, the most popular, Marikes Beach at the location Avlaki to the south. It borders Mati to the north, Artemida to the south, and is washed to the east by the South Euboean Gulf.

Kallitechnoupoli and Neos Voutzas are the two large outlying neighborhoods of Rafina west of Marathon Avenue, on the foothills of Mount Penteli. Many holiday and permanent residences have been built there.
