Aspropyrgos - Transport and Locale

Transport and Locale

The main street is Dimokratias ('Democracy') Avenue. Eleusis Military Airport forms its communal and municipal boundary in its west, while Mount Parnitha is in the northeast. A small port is found in the south and the shores are aligned with trees; willow and other types of trees dominate the city's coastline. Egaleo Mountain rises southwest of it. Aspropyrgos's terrain is rocky.

Its nearest highway is GR-8A/E94, with an interchange 2 km south of the centre. The interchange was a junction until 1994, and was then closed off from 1996 until 1997 in order to extend the number of lanes to four. The main street also serves a road that linked the Peloponnese and the northern and eastern suburbs of Athens, while the industrial area is in the southeastern part of the Aspropyrgos ; the entire south is also industrialized. Attiki Odos is now accessible to its north with an interchange, and the high-speed rail runs north of it but without a nearby station.
