'''Drapetsona''' ([[Greek language|Greek]], Δραπετσώνα), is a suburb in the western part of [[Piraeus]], [[Greece]]. [[Drapetsona Bay]] lies to the west and northwest extending to east of Perama and the [[Piraeus Harbor]] lies to the southeast in which between [[2002]]. 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 north. It is also located S of [[Eleusis]] and GR-9, SW and W of Kifissou Avenue ([[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]], about 12 km WSW of [[Athens]], W of Poseidonos Avenue and Syngrou Avenue and about 1.5 km NW of downtown [[Piraeus]].

The area was made up of farmlands. Mixed farming was common. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands in the [[1930s]] and the [[1940s]]. Today, half of the municipality are urbanized or residential. The Shipping area of Piraeus which is Athens' closest lies to the west and south. It was first opened in the mid-[[20th century]]. It took several years to expand the area. The area expanded about 1 km² to make room for freight and shipping areas so shipping from Athens to other parts of the world can begin. The forests are in the southern and the western part along the shoreline.

==Other==

*Drapetsona has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a police station, a post office, a secondary soccer team and squares (''plateies'').
*"Drapetona" was the title of a [[Mikis Theodorakis]] hit song (sung by [[Gregoris Bithikotsis]]) about poor people evicted from their illegally-built homes by the Greek government.
