'''Ano Liosia''' or '''Ano Liossia''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Άνω Λιόσια) is a suburb in the northern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. Ano Liosia has grown rapidly over the last twenty years. A large number of Roma (Gypsies) live in this suburb of the Greek capital. The mountain range of [[Aigaleo]] is to its southwest. The view of the southeastern portion of the [[Parnitha]] ranges lies to the north. Other panorama of two other mountains are [[Penteli]] and the [[Hymettus]]. A mountain slope is to the west. Since February [[2004]], [[Attiki Odos]] runs between the town and [[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] to the east. The interchange is at Dimokratias Avenue. The Ano Liosia Ring at number 65 is presently under construction and will be opened to bypass Ano Liosia. It is located to the west and is connected with the Aigaleo Ring. It is located E of [[Eleusis]] and the [[Peloponnese]], SE of [[Thiva]], SSE of [[Chalkida]], W of Mesogeios Avenue and about 15 km N of [[Athens]], about 20 km [[Piraeus]] and Poseidonos Avenue. A [[Proastiakos|suburban railway]] station is being constructed at Fylis Interchange of [[Attiki Odos]] with Fylis Avenue. The station will be part of the new railroad line between [[Athens]] and [[Corinth]]. The railway station of the old metric line has been recently (and maybe definitely) closed.

==Geography==

Ano Liosia except for the northwest and the southwest were mainly made up of farmlands. Pasture farming, groves and mixed farming were common. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands between the [[1970s]] and the [[1990s]] and are rarely continuing. Today, half of the municipality are urbanized or residential. The rocky landscapes with bushes dominates the rest of the land.
