Athens: Location and surroundings of this property

Kato Patisia has as its main road axis Acharnon Street instead of Patision. They are defined to the north-northeast by Ano Patisia, to the east by Kypseli, to the south by Agios Nikolaos, to the southwest by Thymarakia and Sepolia, to the west by the river Kifisos and the location Treis Gefyres, where the Athens-Lamia National Road passes over from Kifissos. The church of Agios Dimitrios Oplos got its nickname because only here Agios Dimitrios is depicted armed. That is why its narrow area was named Weapons or In the Weapons. According to another version, during the Struggle of 1821, a group of fighters who had catalyzed in the temple for the night, suddenly woke up to a voice: "In arms!". They got up and just managed to repel a Turkish attack. Later, when they asked each other, it was found that everyone was asleep when the voice was heard. So they performed the voice in a miracle of Agios Dimitrios. A multicultural area with a simple neighborhood character.
