Kifissia (Greek: Κηφισιά, Ancient form/Latin: Cephisia) or Kifisia is one of the most expensive northern suburbs of Athens, mainly accessed via Kifissias Avenue, running all the way from central Athens up to Theseos Avenue in the suburb of Nea Erythraia. It has traditionally been home to the major Greek political families. It is home to ISAP's terminal station, presently a part of the Athens Metro project. The Cephissus river runs to the west of Kifissia and has his name derived from Kifissia, and half of the municipality is taken up by part of the Penteli mountain; the rest is made up of elegant urban areas to the west, surrounded by popular and upmarket areas such as Kefallari and Politeia to the north, and Nea Kiffisia to the south-west. Kifissia is a famous recreational neighbourhood for people of all ages (but mostly teenagers) from all over Athens, because of its many available forms of entertainment; the Cinemax Cinemas, the Kifissia Bowling Center, numerous more fashionable shopping malls, as well as many smaller designer shops and upmarket restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It is also home to the Kefalari Park, the most popular place for younger groups to socialize. Periphery: Attica
Prefecture: Athens
Population: 43,929

Today, Kifissia is an upmarket shopping centre, although many villas have been preserved.
In July 2007, residents panicked as Kifissia was struck by a bush fire the origins of which are said to be arson related. The fire destroyed much of the eastern, partially forested parts of the area. It several houses and buildings that had been built near the forest boundaries but did not cause as much damage as the fire in the Penteli region. The fire lasted several hours, finally being put out at about midnight. Firefighters made use of helicopters as well as airplanes to battle the blaze.
