'''Nea Ionia''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Νέα Ιωνία, meaning New [[Ionia]]) is a northern suburb of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It has a surface train station ([[ISAP]]). The suburb was named after [[Ionia]], the region in [[Anatolia]] from which many [[Greeks]] came in the [[1920s]] after the [[Asia Minor Disaster]]. It is located northeast of the neighborhood of [[Patissia]]. It is located S of [[Attiki Odos]] which opened in [[2001]] and wasn't fully connected until February [[2004]], WSW of [[Kifissia]] and W of Kifissias Avenue, W of Marathonos Avenue, ENE of [[Athens]] and E of Kifissou Avenue. Its main street is one connecting Patissia and Kifissia.

The area was made up of farmlands and forests dominated the area. The forests are in the squares today. Urban development replaced much of the farmlands. Today, much of the municipality is urbanized while the businesses are along its main roads. Many of the trees are aligned with the streets and in squares. A few tracts of hilly grasslands lie to the east.

Nea Ionia has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a post office and squares (''plateies'').

Originally, the area was named "Podarades" and was made up of farmlands and forests. However, the refugees quickly developed it into a thriving community with businesses. In [[1934]] it became a municipality. In [[1956]] Nea Ionia acquired a train station on the [[Athens]] to [[Piraeus]] line (ISAP). Today, much of the municipality is urbanized while the businesses are along its main roads.
