Municipal Unit of Nea Filadelfeia

Municipal Unit of Nea Filadelfeia has served as a refugee settlement in Attica since the 1920s, when families displaced from Asia Minor established a new community north of Athens. It occupies part of the Athens basin, where the Podoniftis stream, a tributary of the Kifissos, passes through the district. Its name recalls Philadelphia in Asia Minor, while its refugee heritage also shaped AEK Athens, founded in 1924 by Greeks from Constantinople. The club’s Agia Sophia Stadium, opened in 2022, is a major local sporting landmark. Nea Filadelfeia Park brings a notable stretch of greenery to this densely built part of metropolitan Athens.
