Pagkrati

Pagkrati ( _el. Παγκράτι) is a neighborhood in the Municipality of Athens, Greece. It is bordered by the Kolonaki (Greek: Κολωνάκι, Kolonaki) neighborhood to the north, the Kessariani (Greek: Καισαραινή, Kasariani) Municipality to the east, the Vironas (Greek: Βύρωνας, Vironas) Municipality to the south, and the Mets (Greek: Μετς, Mets) neighborhood to the west. It is not to be confused as a separate suburb, as it is part of the Athens city proper. However, it is frequently mistaken as such, possibly because of it bordering the actual suburbs of Vironas and Kessariani.
