Moschato

Αrea, Overview, Quality of Life & Real Estate Market 2025

Location & Historical Background

Moschato is strategically located between Neo Faliro and Kallithea, with a frontage on the Faliro Bay. It combines the advantages of a coastal location with close proximity to both central Athens and Piraeus. Historically, it served as an industrial and commercial zone, which gradually evolved into an urban center for residential living and small-scale business activity.

Nature and Green Spaces

Despite its urban character, Moschato has sections of coastal frontage suitable for walking and cycling, while nearby parks and small green areas enhance residents’ quality of life. Its proximity to the Faliro waterfront allows easy access to larger recreational areas.

Daily Life & Entertainment

The commercial heart of Moschato is located along Stratigou Makrygianni Street, featuring numerous shops, banks, cafés, and bakeries. The local market is considered satisfactory, while the nearby Kallithea offers an even broader commercial variety. On the border with Neo Faliro, the new retail park on Pireos Street attracts a young crowd and offers dining and shopping options. The area is friendly to people with mobility issues, with many specially adapted pedestrian crossings.
