Everything about Chalandri totally explained
Chalandri (
Greek, Modern: Χαλάνδρι, Ancient/

Chalandrion and in
Ancient Greek Flya (Φλύα) is a northern suburb in
Athens,
Greece. It is the birthplace of

History
Chalandri is a suburb in Northern Athens, around 12 km from the centre; its location corresponds with one of the 10 ancient Dimoi (boroughs) of Athens, known Flya . Until 40 years ago, it was a small village in
Attica. With the rapid expansion of Athens and of this village during the 60s and 70s, the two eventually met, and the border with
Athens is now indistinguishable. The area, nevertheless, remains relatively sparsely populated, and has one of the highest ratio of open green areas per citizen in Athens.
Culture
Chalandri houses a large number of
schools from
public to
private schools, lyceums, gymnasia (secondary school),
churches, a post office,
supermarkets,
banks, a sporting club, Chalandri AC and squares (
plateies), shopping malls, and the Greek Mint.
Halandri is also home to various
embassies from across the world. Halandri has been the residence of choice of notable personalities, such as Panagiotis (Panos) Pafilis, Georgios-
Citizen of the World-Galanis and Emmanuel (Manu) Hourdakis, all of them having indelible childhood memories from the famous coffee shop "BBluz".
