Melissia
Melissia or Melisia (Greek: Meli'ssia), is a suburb in the northeastern part of Athens, Greece. The origin of the name comes from the beehives. Melissia was first widely poplulated by Greek refugees coming from Asia Minor after their persecution by the Turks in 1922. The region was renowned for its healthy climate and it was full of sanitariums for those who suffered from tuberculosis. Melissia is accessed by Attiki Odos (number 6) to the south, Kifissias Avenue to the west and the road to Mount Penteli to the east. The suburban community sits near the slope of Mount Hymettus and west of Mount Penteli. The Athenian plain lies to the southwest. It is located about 4 to 5 km N of Attiki Odos (number 6), SE of Thiva and Chalkida, SW of Marathon, W of Rafina, and ENE of Athens. Its main streets are divided into two one-way streets linking to Kifissia and the other linking south of Vrilissia.Top photos chosen by u all:
