Also mapped, not officially monitored
Named beaches in OpenStreetMap that are not on the official bathing-water list. They have no water class in our data, which says nothing about how clean the water is.

Getting there and around
The nearest mapped transport points in a straight line. The data holds no timetables or journey times; where an official source exists it is linked below.
| Kind | Name | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Airport | Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH) (in the Municipality of Spata - Artemida, across the water) | 23.9 km |
| Ferry terminal | Ωρωπός | 27.0 km |
| Railway station | Άγιος Στέφανος | 12.8 km |
| Bus stop | unnamed in OSM | 4.2 km |
Rows marked "across the water" have no mapped option on the same side of the water within the search distance. The straight line crosses water, so the real journey is longer and may need a ferry or a long detour.

Context from the map
The same facts the Katatopisi map shows for the settlement's point, in the same words. They are regional data, not a survey or a safety guarantee.
| Topic | What is recorded |
|---|---|
| Flooding (YPEN hazard maps) | Inside a mapped flood hazard area (low-probability scenario, 1-in-1000 years). Within a zone of potentially high flood risk |
| Wildfires | 3 recorded fires within 5 km (EFFIS, 2016–2026). Nearest burnt area: 12 Oct 2023 (57 hectares), 1.2 km away |
| Earthquake hazard (ESHM20) | Expected ground shaking: 0.21g · low by Greek standards. The figure is for rock; soft ground shakes harder. |
| SEVESO sites | No SEVESO site within 5 km |
Maps cover designated high-risk zones only, and only the low-probability scenario (1-in-1000 years); scenarios for more frequent floods are not included. “Outside” does not mean “safe”.
Mean peak ground acceleration with a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years (the 475-year return period), from the European ESHM20 model. It is a regional figure, not a ground study for this plot.
Fires: EFFIS (Copernicus), areas of roughly 30 hectares and above; the dates in our data run 2016–2026. Smaller fires do not appear.
2021 zone price
The point lies in a zone with a tax value of 950 € per m² (objective value system, 2021).
2021 tax zone price (the objective value system), not a market price; market prices are usually higher. A property's official value applies coefficients for floor, age and frontage.
