Pangrati (Greek: Παγκράτι) is a neighborhood in Athens, Greece, having an estimated population of 35,173 residents. Named after the ancient sanctuary of Hercules Pancrates ("All Powerful"), its frontage runs from Vasilissis Sofias Avenue along to Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue and Vassileos Alexandrou Avenue, just a few minutes walk from the National Gardens. One of the most important landmarks of Pagrati is the Panathinaiko Stadium that hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The First Cemetery of Athens, the official cemetery for the City of Athens, lies within the neighborhood's limits.
Pagrati includes the Ilissos river valley and extends to the south as far as the Panathinaic Stadium and the First Cemetery of Athens. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the Hymettus Mountain slopes but with the extension of the city in interwar period the modern eastern boundary is Nikiforidi Str. and Iliados Str., including Deliolani Square. To the north and northeast, the area fades into Hilton and National Gallery area, but it is considered that the area north of Vassileos Alexandrou Ave. as far north to Hilton Athens hotel and northeast as Andreas Syngros Hospital is part of Pagrati. Pagrati is bordered by the Kolonaki (Greek: Κολωνάκι) neighborhood to the west, the Ilisia (Greek: Ιλίσια) neighborhood and the Kaisariani (Greek: Καισαριανή) to the north, the Vyronas (Greek: Βύρωνας) and Dafni-Ymittos (Greek: Δάφνη-Υμηττός) municipalities to the east, and the Neos Kosmos (Greek: Νέος Κόσμος) neighborhood to the south. It is not to be confused as a separate suburb, as it is part of the City of Athens proper. However, it is frequently mistaken as such, possibly because of it bordering the actual suburban towns of Vyronas and Kaisariani.
In the second decade of the 21st century, Pagrati has experienced a renaissance as a destination for hipsters,[1] with concomitant gentrification, house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability.[2]
