  1. Drosia Jason Dikeos English III

  2. History • Drosia was first known and founded only during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922. • Its first inhabitants were from Pontus and Asia Minor, and many of them could not head to Athens and Piraeus. The area was first named Rodopoli in 1926 and was part of the community of Stamata, and the area of the settlement bordered with the authentic Bogiati (Μπογιάτι), which is now Anixi, Agios Stefanos. • One neighbouring settlement of Stamata was the ball which adopted the name of the ancient city Rodopolis.

  3. History (2) • modern Drosia’s name was in use until 1952, when the city was recreated according to a triangular plan, and was renamed as the present Drosia. • The Greek word Δροσιά means cool or dew which is why the name was chosen--because of the area’s low temperature.

  4. History (3) • Since 2011, it is part of the municipality Dionysos, of which it is a municipal unit.

  5. Geography • Drosia sits between the Athenian plain and Penteli Mountain. • The Cephissus River lies to the west. • The main avenues are Leoforos Marathonos and Grigoris Lamprakis Street connecting to the nearby communities of Dionysos and Rhea.

  6. Other • Drosia has a primary school, 3 banks, numerous churches, a summer movie theater, a post office and 2 squares. • There are also gyms and sports clubs you can attend. • Also there are video clubs, restaurants and taverns, and there are also places like Starbucks and Everest where the youth likes to go to and drink hot beverages with their friends.

  7. Other (2) • Drosia generally has a clean and healthy environment, but, unfortunately, it faces the same problem as the rest of Greece: People’s ignorance has led to what is shown in the picture below:
