Established in December 1884, Kallithea, the eighth-largest city and municipality in Greece, sprawls over an area of 4.749km² enveloping a population of 96,118. This densely populated city extends from the Filopappou and Sikelia hills in the north to the stunning Phaleron Bay in the south, with its heart at Davaki Square, a short journey away from central Athens and Piraeus.

Rich in historical significance, the area hides the remnants of the ancient town of Xypete and famously hosted shooting events of the first modern Olympic Games. Kallithea flourished in the 1920s, following the Greco-Turkish War, due to an influx of refugees, contributing to its cultural diversity and growth.
