Attica , approximately 35 km SE ofAthens , S ofRafina , S of theEleftherios Venizelos International Airport , ESE of theAttiki Odos (numbers 6 and 62) and NW ofLavrio . Markopoulo is linked with GR-91 (Glyka Nera - Sounio), a two-lane highway stretching down to Lavrio. Since the late-20th century, Kalyvia Thorikou is bypassed to the northeast but for Kalyvia and Anavyssos partially bypasses especially Anavyssou (Anavyssos) Avenue. Markopoulo once had a railway station, linking nearKifissia andLavrio . Today, the nearestProastiakos rail lies to the north.The mountains lie to the west, the southwest, the southeast with several mansions, and the east. Farmlands are located in the valley areas and southward. More mountains are further southwest. The panorama of other mountains includes the
Hymettus to the northwest and thePenteli to the north.The population was rural until the 1970s and the 1990s. The population became urban as suburban housing popped up in the 1980s and the 1990s; most of the population is urban. Housing developments slowly continue to this day, and some are still interspersed with farmlands or empty land.
