Near the station there are many businesses and shops, as well as one of the largest private schools in Greece, Lycée Léonin.

The Scuola Italiana Statale di Atene, an Italian international school, is in Ano Patisia.

A church from the early Christian era in Athens, it was re-established as the katholikon of a monastery established by Saint Philothei in the late 16th century.

St. Filothei was known for purchasing the freedom of women who had been forced into the harem during the Ottoman occupation.

Patisia has a hot-summer mediterranean (Csa) climate, with mild winters and hot summers.
