Marousi (Greek, Modern: Μαρούσι, Katharevousa: Αμαρούσιον), alternative forms: Maroussi, Amarousion, and Amaroussion, is a suburban city NE of Athens, Greece, and one of the largest municipalities of Athens. The Athens Olympic Sports Complex, the largest sports complex in Greece, is also located here; its main street is Kifisias Avenue, and also contains four ISAP train stations and two of the Suburban Railway. The region is birthplace of the nationally known Greek actress Aliki Vougiouklaki, and ANT1 television station and studios are also located in this community, as are the main offices of the Greek subsidiaries of several multinational corporations from Kodak, Bayer, Kimberly-Clark, Siemens to Nestlé. Amarousion dates back to the era of the ancient Athenian Republic; it ancient name was Athmonon, and it represented one of the 10 Athenian sub-cities. The area held a main ancient temple, where Amarysia Artemis, the goddess of hunting, was adored, and the city`s modern name derives from that of the goddess, Amarysia, which denotes the origin of the worship back in Amarynthos, Euboea. Within Maroussi lies the biggest forest in urban Athens, `Dassos Syngrou`, and the rest of the area is residential, with commercial buildings to be found mainly on Kifissias Avenue.

Modern Maroussi
Maroussi, a quiet northern suburb of Athens, was strictly a family housing area until the 1980s. During the 1990s and due to the development of excellent transportation substructure, (namely the Attiki Odos, Athens Metro, Urban Rail), the availability of land, and a public authority friendly to businesses it has been transformed into what is now known as the Financial District of Athens. At the turn of the new century the area now houses increasing areas of modern low-rise office buildings serving the Greek corporate elite, as well as many a number of facilities and infrastructural developments. The city remains a highly regarded domestic suburb in all areas, apart from the commercial Kifissias avenue.
It offers a colourful range of activity to residents and visitors and a very comprehensive and modern variety of facilities, cafes, restaurants, multiplexes, sporting venues, shopping areas, as well as a number of prestigious public (Peiramatiko Lyceum Anavryton) and private educational institutions. Maroussi also has a longstanding and strong athletic tradition, traceable to the first modern Olympics of 1896, and home to one of the dominant basketball teams in the Greek League (Maroussi BC), holder of the European Saporta Cup trophy in 2001. In 2004, Maroussi was considered co-organizer of the Olympic Games Municipality together with Metropolitan Athens, because the majority of the facilities and venues were located in the `Kalogreza region`, and other areas of Maroussi, mainly at the Athens Olympic Sports Complex.

Marousi is road serviced by OASA (blue colour) buses and also runs its own small bus shuttle network (red colour). As for rail, Maroussi is serviced by ISAP (green colour, line 1) with 4 train stations, KAT, Maroussi, Neratziotissa, Eirinis, and by Proastiakos (yellow color, suburban light railway) with 2 train stations, Neratziotissa and Kifissias.
