Rafina: Location and surroundings of this property

Rafina is located on the coast of Eastern Attica and is the second largest port of the prefecture after Piraeus with great mobility towards the Cyclades. In recent years, Rafina has experienced great development and is essentially a suburb of Athens, thanks to Attiki Odos, which improved access from the city center as it joins Marathon Avenue in neighboring Pikermi. It is about 25 km from Athens. The most central road of Eastern Attica, Marathon Avenue, crosses it to the west, while Am. Fleming Avenue starts from Marathon Street and ends a short distance from the city center and the port. The city covers an area of 19,000 hectares and its population amounts to 12,168 inhabitants, 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 one next to the port and the second the most popular Marikes beach in the Avlaki position to the south. It is bordered to the north by Mati, to the south by Artemis and to the east by the South Euboean gulf. Kallitechnoupoli and Neos Voutzas are the two large regional districts of Rafina west of Marathon Avenue at the foot of Penteli. Many vacation homes as well as permanent residences are built in them.
