'''Keratsini''' ([[Greek language|Greek]], Modern: Κερατσίνι, Ancient/[[Katharevousa]] -on), older forms '''Keratsinio''' and '''Keratsinion''' is a suburb in the western part of [[Piraeus]], [[Greece]]. [[Drapetsona Bay]] lies to the southwest. The city is linked by a road linking to Skaramangas along with [[Greece Interstate 8|GR-8A]]/[[E94]] and Athinon Avenue and along with Lambrakis Streets and Petrou Ralli Avenue to the northeast and road to Perama to the northwest. There is an interchange which is only accessed by trucks which leads into the Piraeus harbor. It is also located S of [[Eleusis]] and GR-9, SW and W of Kifissou Avenue ([[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]], about 14 km WSW of [[Athens]], W of Poseidonos Avenue and Syngrou Avenue and about 4 km NW of downtown [[Piraeus]].

The area was made up of farmlands. Mixed farming was common. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands between the [[1930s]] and the [[1950s]]. Today, most of the municipality are urbanized or residential. The rocky landscape of [[Aigaleo]] with a few bushes lie to the north. The mountaintop is to the northeast and the valley is to the northwest. The industrial lies to the southwest with most of the buildings as the port of Piraeus. The area which was used for mining in the [[1960s]] transformed the area into a park.

==Other==

Keratsini has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a police station, a post office, a tertiary division soccer team named Keratsini which is also called KERTS and squares (''plateies'') including one in the northwest. The current mayor is Dimitris Sarafoglou, who had also been mayor from 1979 to 1994.
