CHALANDRI

'Chalandri' (Greek, Modern: Χαλάνδρι, Ancient/Katharevousa: Χαλάνδριον), older form 'Chalandrion' and in Ancient Greek Flya (Φλύα) is a northern suburb in Athens, Greece. It is the birthplace of Euripides.
Chalandri is a suburb in Northern Athens, around 10 km from the centre. The place where it lies corresponds to one of the 10 ancient Dimoi (boroughs) of Athens, called Flya (Φλύα in Greek). Until 40 years ago however it was just a small village in Attika. With the rapid expansion of Athens and of this village during the 60s and 70s they eventually met.
The border between Athens is now indistinguishable, although Chalandri remains relatively sparsely populated and has one of the highest ratio of open green areas for every citizen in Athens.
