The Ilisos or Ilisus (Greek: Ιλισός, [iliˈsos]) is a river in Athens, Greece. Originally a tributary of the Kifisos, it has been rechanneled to the sea. It is now largely channeled underground, though as of June 2019 there were plans to unearth the river.[1] Together with the neighbouring river Kifisos, it drains a catchment area of 420 km2 (160 sq mi).[2]
