About

Here is a list of residential streets in the Thiseio area:

Thiseio is surrounded by hills, heights, and historical sites which are within a walking distance. The Ancient Agora of Athens, the Stoa of Attalos, the Temple of Hephaestus, and Kerameikos Archaeological Museum can be entered from Thiseio; all others: the National Observatory of Athens, Acropolis of Athens, Philopappos Monument, Mouseion Hill, Pnyx, which is considered the birthplace of Democracy, and Mount Lycabettus can be easily reached or viewed from Thiseio. The panoramic views of them and their natural surroundings from the Areopagus height are spectacular, especially by night.

The historical churches of Agia Marina, the church of Agii Assomati, the church of Agios Athanasios Kourkouris and many others are situated in Thiseio. Also, situated in Thiseio are the two synagogues of modern Athens, Etz Chaim or Romaniote Synagogue and the Sepharadi Beth Shalom, the Holocaust Memorial of Athens as well as the ancient Synagogue in the Agora of Athens inside the archaeological site. Beautifully restored neoclassical houses, narrow streets and many architectural landmarks and archaeological sites make Thiseio one of the most cultural, picturesque, distinguished, and peaceful neighbourhoods of Athens and one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Acropolis. Due to Thiseio's position, adjacently to other traditional and historical neighbourhoods and the major archaeological sites, pedestrian-only streets join them. Therefore, the Athenians go for a leisurely walk around Thiseio and enjoy cultural events and promenades along narrow serpentine-like paths which twist their way through historical sites.

Apostolou Pavlou is a pedestrianized street which meets Dionysiou Areopagitou Street to form the main pedestrian zone around the archaeological site of Agora from Thiseio to the Acropolis. There are numerous small and friendly boutique shops, restaurants, and cafés where people are welcomed and invited to socialize at leisure; all set in a quiet enclave and frequented by both tourists and locals alike.

As one of the many entertainment centers of the city of Athens, Thiseio is rich in history and culture. It has museums, galleries, the two synagogues of Athens, exhibition centers, and open-air theatres and cinemas.

The National Observatory of Athens operates the oldest meteorological station in Greece that is still operational, and one of the oldest in Southern Europe. The station is located at the Hill of the Nymphs near the center of Athens. The A class Meteorological station has been located at the same position since 11 September 1890, while it started its operation in 1858 at a different location in Thiseio.
