Vrilissia

Vrilissia (Greek: Βριλήσσια) is an urbanized northeastern suburb and a municipality of the North Athens regional unit, in the Attica region. It is located at the southwestern accessible foot of the Penteli Mountain, from which it was named after as the ancient name of the mountain was Vrilissos (Βριλησσός). Vrilissia lies within the Athens basin, which is surrounded by the Mountains of Penteli, Parnitha, Aigaleo and Imittos and is subsumed in the Athens Prefecture. In ancient times it formed part of the Flya Municipality, which covered the land spanning from Psychiko to Agia Paraskevi and mainly centered around what is now known as the Municipality of Chalandri.
