It is part of the [[North Athens (regional unit)|North Athens regional unit]]. Agia Paraskevi was named after the main church of the town, which is dedicated to Saint [[Paraskevi of Rome]].

==Geography==

Agia Paraskevi is situated near the northern edge of the forested [[Hymettus]] mountain range, {{convert|9|km|0|abbr=on}} northeast of Athens city center. The municipality has an area of 7.935&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.<ref name=stat01>{{cite web|url=http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf |publisher=National Statistical Service of Greece |title=Population & housing census 2001 (incl. area and average elevation) |language=el |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921212047/http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf |archivedate=2015-09-21 }}</ref> The built-up area of Agia Paraskevi is continuous with those of the neighboring [[Cholargos]], [[Chalandri]] and [[Gerakas]]. Besides the central area around the Agia Paraskevi Square, Agia Paraskevi consists of 7 districts: Kontopefko, Nea Zoi, Tsakos, Stavros, Aigiannis, Pefkakia and Paradeisos. The [[National Centre of Scientific Research "Demokritos"|National Center of Scientific Research Demokritos]], which hosts the sole [[nuclear reactor]] in Greece, is situated in Agia Paraskevi. It is also home of the Greek Ministry of [[Agriculture]].

The main thoroughfare is [[Mesogeion Avenue]], which connects Agia Paraskevi with central Athens. The eastern beltway [[Motorway 64 (Greece)|Motorway 64]] passes through the southeastern part of the municipality. The municipality is served by several metro stations and a [[Doukissis Plakentias station|suburban railway station]], located in adjacent municipalities.

==History==

Agia Paraskevi was part of the community of [[Chalandri]] until 1931, when it became a separate community. It became a municipality in 1963.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.eetaa.gr/eetaa/metaboles/dkmet_details.php?id=5310 |title=EETAA local government changes |access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref> Formerly a farmers' village, it experienced much suburban development since the 1950s.

In 1993, there was considerable opposition from inhabitants of the suburb to the construction of the Hymettus ring road ([[Motorway 64 (Greece)|Motorway 64]]). The ring road was to form a major highway on the mountainside linked directly to the [[Motorway 6 (Greece)|Motorway 6]], and the construction of both motorways were to commence immediately. The realization that this plan would demand the felling of a considerable number of trees, as well as spurring an increase in [[noise pollution]], predictably aroused the opposition of the local population, who requested a different solution: a covered road. However, the government would not reverse the decision and, in fact, sent bulldozers to the mountainside. This led to a [[riot]] in April, 1993. Thousands of people traveled up the mountainside and faced the bulldozers, forcing the drivers to leave. At length police arrived and managed to force the demonstrators off the site; eventually the construction of the two highways began, and was completed in 2001. The road was covered only at a small section, that running over the [[Deree College]].
