Gazi-Kerameikos
Gazi-Kerameikos takes its name from the industrial gas works that even today dominate the neighborhood's landscape. The plant that used to provide gas for lighting and power throughout the city (called Technopolis) is now a cultural center offering festivals, temporary exhibitions, and open-air concerts. A slew of bars, clubs, and restaurants are spearheading the revival of the neighborhood and are served by the sleek Kerameikos metro station.
