Kallithea is the 8th largest municipality in Greece (109,609 inhabitants, 2001 census) and the 4th biggest in the Athens urban area (following Athens itself, Piraeus and Peristeri). Additionally, it is the second-most densely populated municipality in Greece (after Neapoli, Thessaloniki), with 23,080 inhabitants / square kilometer.
The center of Kallithea (Davaki Square) lies at a distance of 3 km to the south of the Athens City Center (Syntagma Square) and 3 km to the north-east of the Pireas City center (Korai Square) (photo 1). Kallithea extends from the Filopappou and Sikelia hills in the north to Phaleron Bay in the south ; its two other sides consist of Syngrou Avenue to the east (border to the towns of Nea Smyrni and Palaio Faliro), and the Ilisos River to the west (border to the towns of Tavros and Moschato). The site on which the city was developed covers the biggest part of the area to the south of Athens, protected in ancient times (5th century BC) by the Long Walls to the west and the Phaleron Wall to the east (photo 3). Somewhere within this area the ancient town of Xypete lay. The town and its citizens are mentioned among other places in Plato’s Dialogs.
