'''Metamorfosis''' or '''Metamorfosi''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Μεταμόρφωση, which means "transformation"), formerly [[Koukouvaounes]], is a suburb in the northern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. Metamorfosis is one of the smallest municipalities in the Athens area and one of the smallest in the agglomeration. It is accessed by the Tatoiou Street (Metamorfosi) Interchange at the [[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] (Athens - [[Lamia]] - [[Thessaloniki]]) to the northwest at the 12th km, [[Attiki Odos]] (number 6) and several main streets including Amarousiou Avenue. It is located about 80 km SE of [[Thiva]], about 65 km SSE of [[Chalkida]], SW of [[Marathon]], W of Kifissias Avenue, and about 14 km N of [[Athens]] via GR-1 anand about 3 km NE and north of the Attiki Odos (number 6). The main road linking to [[Nea Filadelfeia]] and [[Kifissia]] runs through Metamorfosi and northwest Tatoiou Street.

The area is made up of farmlands. Farmlands used to dominate the land which included groves. In the mid to the late [[20th century]], urban development and industrial buildings replaced much of the farmlands. The industrial area is around the northern and the northeastern part of Metamorfosi. Today, most of the land is residential areas. The southern and the central part are urbanized while the northern part is industrialized. The companies include [[Tudor Hellenic SA]] on Plastira Street. The [[Cephissus River]] is to the west. The [[Parnitha]] can be seen and the [[Penteli]] mountains to the northeast. The higher parts of the mountains of [[Aegaleo]] and the [[Hymettus]] can be seen.

Metamorfosis has schools, a few lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a train station, a sports centre, cinemas, post offices and squares (''plateies'').

==History==

The earthquake of [[September 7]], [[1999]] affected the area but caused minor damage.
