Assyrmatos, Athens
Assyrmatos or Asyrmatos or Attaliotika is a neighborhood of Athens, Greece. It is located in the west slopes of Philopappos Hill, next to Ano Petralona district. Assyrmatos named after the transmitting antenna of Greek navy (asyrmatos is the Greek word for the wireless broadcasting). This area was an old quarry where refugees from Asia Minor were settled, after Asia Minor Disaster. The most of refugees came from Attaleia, so the other name of this district is Attaliotika. The new settlement was built with off hand materials and looked like a slum. During Dekemvriana, in 1944, the navy school and transmitting antenna burnt. So the government decided to accommodate the refugees in the area of old navy school facilities, with the building of some stone houses and one block of flats.
