Everything about Ilio Greece totally explained
Ilio (older form

Greek, modern:
Ίλιο,
Katharevousa:

Nea Liosia or
Nea Liossia (
Greek Νέα Λιόσια), is a suburb in the west-northwest part of
Athens,
Greece. The two mountaintops of Aigaleo lie to the west. It is also located east-southeast of

Athens), and north of
Piraeus and Poseidonos Avenue. The main streets are Fylis (Hasias) Ave. (linking to

Geography
Ilio was mainly made up of
farmlands. Pasture farming and groves were common. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands between the
1950s and the
1990s and continued until the late-
1990s, with little current development. Today, most of the municipality is urbanized or residential. The rocky, sparse landscape of
Aigaleo lies to the west and to the north. Mining was common in the western part between the
1960s and the late 20th century. Forests dominate the squares.
