Discover Markopoulo: A Gem in Eastern Attica

Welcome to Markopoulo, a picturesque town in Eastern Attica, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean. This charming locale, steeped in history, serves as the administrative center of the municipality bearing the same name.

A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Markopoulo has evolved from an ancient Arvanite settlement, with its roots tracing back centuries. Post-2004, following extensive developments spurred by the Olympic Games, the town has seen significant growth. Key projects include the establishment of the new Attica Racecourse, which relocated from Tzitzifies. This development brought substantial infrastructure improvements, particularly enhancing road connectivity. Notably, the town is now the terminus of the renowned Attica Road, providing seamless access to Spata Airport. Despite its rapid urbanization, Markopoulo retains a sense of its rural heritage, characterized by fertile soil that produces an array of agricultural goods, including vines, olives, and pistachios.

Porto Rafti: A Coastal Paradise

Just 10 kilometers from Markopoulo lies Porto Rafti, the town’s coastal port and a sought-after summer destination. Renowned for its small harbor lined with upscale taverns and a bustling main beach road adorned with large cafes, Porto Rafti is a hub of activity during the summer months. The road leads to Avlaki, another scenic spot within the Markopoulo municipality, close to the Keratea border.
