Erythres

Erythres /ˈɛrɪθriːz/ (Greek: Ερυθρές, formerly known as Kriekouki, Greek: Κριεκούκι) is a village and a former municipality in the northernmost part of West Attica, Greece.

[4] Erythres was named after the ancient city of Erythrae, the ruins of which are located 1.5 km east of the present town.

The area south of Erythres is mountainous, with the Kithaironas to the southwest and the Pastra to the southeast.

The area north of Erythres is characterised by the wide, flat valley of the Boeotian river Asopos, that flows to the east along the northern border of the municipal unit.
