Despite its high population density, Athens and the wider Athens area still feature certain lovely districts, which, for a variety of reasons, were spared of overdevelopment and, as a result, offer plenty of greenery and exemplary town plans, aspects that, by extension, have created better living conditions for residents.
Athens suburb Papagou is a case in point. Buying property in the area is nowadays considered extremely difficult as a result of limited offerings. The suburb is strategically placed, offering easy access to Athens’ centre as well as the airport. It also offers good environmental conditions courtesy of the area’s close proximity to the lush slopes of Mount Hymettus, lining the eastern side of the city. Papagou is also special because of the wide spaces between buildings, which has enabled the development of many local parks and squares. Also, building restrictions have kept buildings low, hence the presence of many elegant houses, rather than apartment blocks, in the area. The arrival of the Ethniki Amyna metro station in the area nearly two decades ago also significantly upgraded Papagou in terms of public transport.
Neos Voutzas is an area of exceptional natural beauty on the eastern side of the wider Athens area, just 4 km from the port of Rafina and a 20-minute drive from the airport. The area features stylish properties, is quiet, offering a sense of countryside living, and, as its greatest feature, enjoys marvellous views of the mountain and sea. Well-known Schinias beach is just 20 km away. Nowadays, the district is under the administrative control of Marathon, one of the wider Athens area’s loveliest areas, which, besides the man-made lake of the same name, is also filled with vineyards, olive groves and wild nature.
