Where is our school?

σχολείο

Our school is the 1st General Lyceum of Rafina.

Rafina is in Greece and located in North-West Attica, about 25 kilometres from Athens. What’s more, it lies about 20 kilometres from Marathon, where the famous battle took place in 490 B.C. Its location is also close to the Temple of Artemis in Vraurona.

Rafina is the second largest port of Attica and every day ferries leave from hear to the islands of Cyclades.

The school is located in an hill over Rafina named “Fort” (“Oχυρό” in greek language).

Very close to the school is the estuary of the Great Stream of Rafina with the small wetland.

Ten minutes walk we arrive at the beach of Marikes with the beach-rock, the sand dunes and the archaeological site of Askitario.
