Peristeri is an independent municipality within the Athens Urban Area, located in the western Attica basin in Greece. It borders the municipality of Athens to the east and forms part of the densely populated Western Athens cluster alongside Aigaleo, Ilion, and Agioi Anargyroi. With a population exceeding 140,000 residents, it ranks among the most populous municipalities in Greece outside the City of Athens proper. The district developed rapidly during the mid-20th century postwar urban expansion, shaped significantly by internal migration from rural Greece and later by international immigration waves.
