'Thiseio', also 'Thisseio', 'Thisio' and 'Thissio' (Greek: Θησείο) is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens northwest of the Acropolis, 1.5 km southwest of downtown and 1 km southwest of city hall. The origin of the name comes from the Temple of Hephaestus, also famous as Τhiseio as it was, in earlier times, considered to be a temple of Theseus. It also includes the ancient Agora, Petgralona and Kerameikos which includes the Assomaton Square.
The area today features the popular nighttime steak - cafes to the limit and cafeterias, they are common during the summer. It also has a nearby ISAP station known by the same name.
