Kalyvia Thorikou (Greek: Καλύβια Θορικού) is a municipality and a suburban town in southeastern Attica, approximately 35 km SE of Athens, S of Rafina, S of the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, ESE of the Attiki Odos (numbers 6 and 62) and NW of Lavrio. Markopoulo is linked with GR-91 (Glyka Nera - Sounio), a two-lane highway stretching down to Lavrio. Since the late-20th century, Kalyvia Thorikou is bypassed to the northeast but for Kalyvia and Anavyssos partially bypasses especially Anavyssou (Anavyssos) Avenue. Markopoulo once had a railway station, linking near Kifissia and Lavrio. Today, the nearest Proastiakos rail lies to the north.

 
The mountains lie to the west, the southwest, the southeast with several mansions, and the east. Farmlands are located in the valley areas and southward. More mountains are further southwest. The panorama of other mountains includes the Hymettus to the northwest and the Penteli to the north.

The population was rural until the 1970s and the 1990s. The population became urban as suburban housing popped up in the 1980s and the 1990s; most of the population is urban. Housing developments slowly continue to this day, and some are still interspersed with farmlands or empty land.
 

Kalyvia Thorikou has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, churches, a post office and squares (plateies). Its nearest beach is located in Lagonisi.
