Attica Region, Administrative region in eastern Greece.
The region spans 3,808 square kilometers, containing the Athens metropolitan area, numerous coastal towns, and eight islands in the Aegean Sea.
The region underwent significant changes in 1987 when it transitioned from four separate prefectures into a unified administrative entity with expanded jurisdiction.
The territory preserves numerous ancient Greek religious centers, including temples dedicated to Demeter in Eleusis and worship sites in Rhamnous.
The area generates 47 percent of Greece's GDP through industrial zones, maritime activities, and services centered around Athens and Piraeus.
Lake Marathon, constructed in 1920, functions as a primary water reservoir for the region while featuring characteristic marble dam architecture.
