Agios Konstantinos (Greek: Άγιος Κωνσταντίνος meaning Saint Constantine) is a town in East Attica, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Lavreotiki, of which it is a municipal unit.[1]
Agios Konstantinos is about 2 km east of the Glyka Nera-Sounio highway (GR-91). In the ancient times, the area was known as Maronia and the previous name was Kamariza.
The mountains dominate the northern, the southern the western and the eastern parts of the community. It consists of rocks and grasslands, forests lies in parts of the area and in the central part and the valley areas are farmlands. Unlike most of the Athens Metropolitan Area, agriculture has remained important in Agios Konstantinos, and housing development has been slow. Some luxury homes and properties cover the eastern and the central parts. In the 1980s the 2-lane expansion was constructed west of Agios Konstantinos.
Agios Konstantinos is famous for its mining areas as well as its neighboring Laurium, the mining town and is part of the mining district of Laurium. Mineral rocks founded around this area includes azurite, chalcoalumite, calcite, austinite, adamite and more.
The only other town in the community is Esperídes (pop. 67).
