'''Tavros''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Ταύρος, which means "bull"), is a suburb in the southwestern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. Athens is not far to the east and is 4 km from the town centre and 3 km from the boundary. It is also located 1 km from Konstantinopouleos Street, 6 km E of downtown Piraeus, about 4 km E of [[Cephissus River (Athens)|Kifissos]] Avenue/[[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] northbound and about 1 km N of [[Andreas Syngrou|Syngrou]] Avenue.
The area was made up of farmlands and some forests dominated the northern part of the area. The forests, filled with leafy trees including tall ones, are aligned with the [[SPAP]] railway linking [[Piraeus]] and [[Patras]] and [[Thessaloniki]] and within the main street, Piraios Street (GR-86), an old road linking downtown Athens and Piraeus. The area was of mixed farming which included pastures, vegetables and groves. Forests were to the east. In the [[1900s]] and the [[1920s]], urban development replaced much of the farmlands. Today, much of the municipality is residential. The industrial area is to the north.
The area is mainly made up of urban areas with a few business areas mainly within Syngrou Avenue. The main streets are Piraios Street to the north, Konstantinopouleos Street with an interchange in the east and Syngrou Avenue south of the municipality.
Tavros has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, post offices and squares (''plateies'').
