“Have you ever heard of a town named after ‘dew’?” Drosia, nestled amidst the evergreen pine forests of East Attica, is a refreshing escape from the Athenian heat. Don’t let the tranquility fool you, though. Drosia has a vibrant history. Originally called Rossochori, it was renamed Drosia, meaning “dew” in Greek, in 1947. The name perfectly captures the town’s spirit. Just like morning dew brings relief from the scorching sun, Drosia offers a cool sanctuary from the bustling city. After the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, Drosia became a haven for refugees from Pontus. They, along with earlier inhabitants, transformed this once quiet village into the lively town you see today. Today, Drosia is a favorite spot for Athenians seeking respite from the summer heat. With charming taverns, cafes, and even an outdoor cinema tucked away under the pine canopy, Drosia offers a taste of tranquility. Remember this little gem when you yearn for a breath of fresh air and a step back in time, just a stone’s throw from the city.
