From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many inhabited places in Attica Prefecture of Greece have both Arvanitic and Greek forms. Some of the forms are identifiably of Greek origin, others of Arvanitic, yet others of Turkish or more obscure origins. Renamings were done to place Greek names first on places with Arvanitic and Turkish names.
