Municipal Unit of Magoula

Among the urban places of Attica, the Municipal Unit of Magoula stands out for its setting on the Thriasian Plain, inland from the Gulf of Eleusis. Part of the Municipality of Elefsina, it lies in a western Attican area shaped by major transport routes, industry and the remaining agricultural land of the plain rather than by central Athens’s dense streets. Nearby Eleusis was an ancient sanctuary town dedicated to Demeter and Persephone, and the Eleusinian Mysteries were held there for centuries. Magoula gives useful context to an often overlooked side of Attica, between the Saronic coast and the mountains of western Greece.
