Agioi Anargyroi (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Άγιοι Ανάργυροι) is a suburban town in the north-central part of the Athens agglomeration, Greece. It takes its name from the "Holy Unmercenaries": saints who received no payment for their medical services. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Agioi Anargyroi-Kamatero, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.[1]
Agioi Anargyroi is located 5km (03miles) north of Athens city centre. The municipal unit has an area of 3.200 km2.[2] Its built-up area is continuous with that of municipality of Athens and the neighbouring suburbs Peristeri, Ilion, Kamatero, Acharnes, Nea Filadelfeia and Nea Chalkidona. Motorway 1 (Athens–Thessaloniki) passes east of the town. Agioi Anargyroi has a station on the Athens–Thessaloniki railway. The old metric Piraeus–Patras railway passes through the town as well.
