The framework's nearest major metropolitan reference point for the market is Athens, 17.9 kilometres away. Elefsina carries one Regional-tier co-location cluster. ## Overview According to Wikipedia (accessed 2026-08-25), Elefsina recorded 30,147 municipal residents at the 2021 census, in West Attica at the northern end of the Saronic Gulf. <!-- wikipedia-sourced: population/description --> The city hosts Greece's largest oil refinery and is recorded in antiquity as the site of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the birthplace of the playwright Aeschylus; it also carries the older English name Eleusis. ## Regional Market Standing | Field | Value | |---|---| | Metropolitan reference point | Athens | | Distance | 17.9 km | | Co-location clusters | 1 Regional-tier | | Catchment population | 3,540,223 | | Catchment method | Strongest member cluster (single-cluster fallback) | Elefsina has one Regional-tier co-location cluster. As with the neighbouring Gerakas entry, the catchment population figure reflects the broader Athens metropolitan catchment underlying the market's strongest member cluster, not a population unique to Elefsina itself. Cluster-level detail — the specific retail and civic anchors composing the cluster — is pending the underlying GIS dataset and is not included in this stub.
