House for Sale in Pangrati Athens. Location information:

Pangrati or Pagrati is a neighborhood in Central Athens, Greece. Its frontage runs from Vasilissis Sofias Avenue along to Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue and Vassileos Alexandrou Avenue. It includes the Ilissos river valley and extends to the south as far as the Panathinaic Stadium and the First Cemetery of Athens.

Its eastern boundary was once defined by the Hymettus Mountain slopes but with the extension of the city in interwar period the modern eastern boundary is Nikiforidi Str. and Iliados Str., including Deliolani Square.

To the north and northeast, the area fades into Hilton or National Gallery area, but it is considered that the area north of Vassileos Alexandrou Ave. as far north to Hilton Athens hotel and northeast as Andreas Syngros Hospital is part of Pangrati.

Pangrati is bordered by the Kolonaki neighborhood to the west, the Ilisia neighborhood and the Kaisariani municipality to the north, the Vyronas and Dafni-Ymittos municipalities to the east, and the Neos Kosmos neighborhood to the south. It is not to be confused as a separate suburb, as it is part of the City of Athens proper.

However, it is frequently mistaken as such, possibly because of it bordering the actual suburbs of Vyronas and Kaisariani. One of the most important landmarks of Pangrati is the Panathinaiko Stadium that hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The First Cemetery of Athens, the official cemetery for the City of Athens, lies within Pangrati.

Pangrati has numerous squares: Plastira, Pangratiou ("of Pangrati"), Messolongiou, Proskopon, Profitis Ilias, Agios Spyridon, Deliolani and Varnava.

Pangrati Square is home to the Pangrati Park, together with a major street named Spirou Merkouri, which runs into Vassileos Konstantinou Ave and up towards Evangelismos Metro Station.

Agios Spyridon Square features the Saint Spyridon Church and Profitis Ilias Square features the Church of the Prophet Elijah, and the Imittou Avenue, which runs through the entire span of Pangrati starting from Kaisariani; around Varnava Square is the area behind the Kallimarmaro Stadium hosting classy restaurants and various tavernas, while Plastira Square serves as a stop for all three trolley networks and local bus routes.

Proskopon Square, just behind the Presidential Mansion also hosts classy restaurants, bars and cafes.
