Transportation

The Athens Bus Terminal is in the east, slightly east of Peristeri itself, along with its nearest station in Sepolia, a part of Athens. An metro station opened in 2004 in Peristeri, named Aghios Antonios due to its location near the Aghios Antonios (Saint Anthony) church. Two other stations, Peristeri (near the town hall) and Anthoupoli (near Thivon St.) are under construction, and will open in 2008.
