Ilisos
The Ilisos or Ilisus (Greek: Ιλισός, [iliˈsos]) is a river in Athens, Greece. Originally a tributary of the Kifisos, it has been rechanneled to the sea. It is now largely channeled underground, though as of June 2019 there were plans to unearth the river. Together with the neighbouring river Kifisos, it drains a catchment area of 420 km2 (160 sq mi).
