Galatsi, Municipality in northern Athens, Greece.

Galatsi extends over 4 square kilometers of urban landscape, situated 4 kilometers northeast from the center of Athens with residential neighborhoods and green spaces.

The area transformed from agricultural fields into a residential district during the mid-20th century when Athens expanded its urban boundaries northward.

The municipal area contains the 12th-century Omorfokklisia church and Alsos Veikou park, which provide spaces for community gatherings and outdoor activities.

The municipality connects to central Athens through multiple bus routes, while the future Metro Line 4 extension will establish new stations within Galatsi.

The Galatsi Olympic Hall, constructed for the Olympic Games, hosted international table tennis and rhythmic gymnastics competitions in its 6,200-capacity arena.
