Getting around
During the 19th century Ampelokipoi was dotted in the maps only for some cottages of rich Athenians built within olive groves, citrus trees and vineyards. Because of the benign climate and the mild weather conditions many hospitals were built in the late 19th century as well as in the beginning of 20th. Nowadays Red Cross is based in Ampelokipoi among many public and private hospitals which make the place ideal for Medical Tourism. A great part of the area was also occupied by military camps and, particularly the district of Goudi has been repeatedly associated with military coups attempting interference in the local political scene.
