Thiseio, also Thisseio, Thisio and Thissio (Greek: Θησείο) is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece, northwest of the Acropolis, 1.5 km southwest of downtown, and 1 km southwest of city hall; its name derives from the Temple of Hephaestus, also known as Τhiseio, as it was, in earlier times, considered a temple of Theseus. The area also takes in the ancient Agora, Petgralona, and Kerameikos, which includes the Assomaton Square.
The area has cafes and meeting points, which are most crowded during summer, and is also served by the nearby ISAP station of the same name.
