A place to be. A state of mind.
Markopoulo
Markopoulo Mesogaias is a municipality in East Attica, about 30 km southeast of central Athens and a few kilometres south of the international airport. It reaches from the vineyards of the Mesogeia plain to the sea: the bay of Porto Rafti and the sanctuary of Artemis at Vravrona.

The unexpected beauty of the Mesogeia
Markopoulo reaches from the vineyards of the Mesogeia plain to the sheltered bay of Porto Rafti. In between: the sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron, the Erasinos wetland, Byzantine chapels and a Frankish tower, all a short drive from each other.
