The campus of the University of Athens is situated in the south, together with the private road linking Hymettus' communication towers, and Zografou's hospital is in the northeast, near Papagou. Much of the municipality is made up of grasslands and rocks, which are part of the Hymettus range, and much of the area is hilly in the west.
