Ampelokipoi or Ampelokipi (Greek: Αμπελόκηποι, pronounced [am.beˈlo.ci.pi]), meaning 'vineyards', is a large, central district of the city of Athens.
Due to its healthy climate, many hospitals were built in Ampelokipoi in the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
The population explosion in Ampelokipoi happened after the Asia Minor Disaster, in 1922, when many refugees settled in this area.
For the residence of the refugees, the government had originally chosen the area of the stadium of Panathinaikos that had been built in the same period.
[4] Few years later the government built a new neighborhood for the refugees opposite of Panathinaikos stadium, known as prosfygika of Alexandras Avenue.
