The Kolonos neighborhood is located in northeast Athens, near the historic triangle of Syntagma Square, Monastiraki, Psiri, and Plaka, making its location particularly attractive. The neighborhood is also close to Kerameikos Forest, one of the largest forests in Athens, which offers beautiful natural scenery and outdoor attractions.
Kolonos is characterized by high demand due to its proximity to central Athens and its location between metro stations and commercial and cultural districts. As a result, the area features a significant number of student apartments, apartments for young couples, and Airbnb listings. It is considered a preferred destination for real estate investors due to the neighborhood’s future development plans, which include the construction of parks and investments in metro lines. However, real estate prices there are still attractive and have not yet skyrocketed.
When exploring the neighborhoods of Athens, a particularly interesting archaeological site can be found in Kolonos—the “Academy of Plato” park, where the ruins of Plato’s first Academy from ancient times are located. Around 387 BCE, Plato founded the school of philosophy, which is considered the first university (Academy) in human history. The Academy taught not only philosophy but also astronomy, mathematics, politics, and physics. Even the very act of walking through its grounds and along its paths is directly linked to the Western philosophy founded by Plato, which viewed walking along these paths as the foundation and driving force for the development of thought and philosophy (and this is how Aristotle and his other students were educated as well).
Northeast Athens, near the Jewish theater sites "Little Colonos" and "The Great Theater." North of the historic triangle of central Athens, a second ring.
The neighborhood has a metro station, Larissa Station, which is part of Line 2. It is also located between two other metro stations: Attica Station and Metaxourio Station, which is 1.1 km from Kolonos Square. There is also an extensive bus network.

The "Academy of Plato" Park (Akademia Platonos) marks the start of Athens’ annual festival, which lasts about a month. Archaeological excavations are taking place in the park, and the park is also set to undergo a renovation that includes plans for an archaeological museum (the first of its kind in Greece).
