Located halfway between Athens and Corinth, Megara has always held a strategic position in the Attica basin. Indeed, it is one of the few place names in the wider region around the capital that has retained its ancient name throughout the centuries. Although the area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, it is around 1200 BC that Megara was built, taking the form of a typical city-state of antiquity.
Before the rise of Athens, it was the preeminent naval power in the Saronic Gulf, they established colonies in southern Italy and founded Byzantium, now known as Constantinople. It only fell into obscurity after the conquest of Greece by the Romans, but it never ceased to be inhabited. In fact, it survived the Middle Ages and the Ottoman rule, assuming its modern profile after the mass settlement of refugees from Asia Minor (1922).
From then on, Megara began to connect more and more with Athens primarily due to its gradual expansion towards Western Attica, there’s been a steady increase in population and a higher demand for properties from those who wish to live near the capital, but not amidst its dense urban network. With improved access thanks to new roads like the Olympia Odos, as well as the presence of the Suburban Railway (the “Megara” station serving both the Airport-Aigio and Piraeus-Kiato lines), one can reach this area in roughly an hour. This has significantly boosted the city’s growth trajectory, making it even more appealing as a residential area and a destination for weekend getaways.
