'''Kaisariani''' or '''Kaissariani''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Καισαριανή), also '''Kesariani''' or '''Kessariani''', is a suburb in the eastern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. Kaisariani is located about 7 km from downtown [[Athens]], about 4 km SW of Katechaki Avenue 4 km from the [[Hymettus Ring]] (number 65) which is part of the [[Attiki Odos]] private superhighway network and 6 km S of Kifissias Avenue. The city is accessed with Olof Palme Avenue.

==Subdivisions==

*[[Ano Kaisariani]]

The area was made up of farmlands and some forests dominated the area. The area was of mixed farming which included pastures, vegetables and groves. In the mid-20th century, suburban housing developments from Athens came over and eliminated farmlands leaving empty space in the southeast. The forests are situated in the east which is Mount [[Hymettus]]' largest forest. The forest also contains a valley with a road linking Athens' nearby communication tower. The [[University of Athens]] is to the northeast mainly in [[Zografou]]. The rest of the area is made up of residential buildings. Kaisariani has a hill in the centre. Much of the land in the east is the rocky landscapes and forests of [[Hymettus]]. The municipality is about 85 square kilometres, of which 75 square kilometres are a mountainous part and are also forested.

The [[Kaisariani Monastery]] is founded in the southeast in the Hymettus mountain.

The eastern bypass of Athens is in the east.

Kaisariani also has a [[A1 Division|basketball team]] named [[Near East BC|Near East Kaisariani]] which was founded in 1927. They play in [[Kaisariani Stadium]], website: http://www.stadia.gr/kesariani/kesariani.html (website coming soon)

==History==

The municipality was created in 1934 out of a former subdivision of the city of [[Athens]].

==Other==

Kaisariani has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, post offices and squares (''[[plateia|plateies]]'').
