Welcome to our 3rd issue!
Our research on the area of Kaminia, where our school and homes are situated, led us to the
municipality of Piraeus, which Kaminia is a part of. We have discovered a lot of things about our
area and we have tried to include the most important facts, however, there are so many left
unsaid! We hope you enjoy reading about our area and why not visit us one day?
Happy Easter holidays!
The learners of the 6th grade.
Kaminia
Kaminia is a city quarter in
Piraeus in the Attica region of
Greece. Locations near Kaminia
include the city quarter of Kokinia
and that of Neo Faliro.
The working class district of
Kaminia stretches from the Keranis
tobacco factory to the area of
Retsina. Identified with the lives
of sailors and tobacco workers
residing the area, it was named
after the existence of such
facilities. Kaminia was also home to
industrial ironworks which before
the war served the needs of
shipbuilding in the port area of
Piraeus.
