Geography

The area was made up of farmlands and some forests dominated the area. The forests are in the squares. In the mid-20th century, urban development replaced much of the farmlands. Today, much of the municipality are urbanized while the businesses are within the main roads. Many of the trees are aligned with the streets and in squares.
Agioi Anagryroi has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, churches, banks, a train station, a sports centre, cinemas, post offices and squares (plateies). The church in its main square was built by a former mayor, Ilias Melas.
The main railway line of OSE from Athens to Thessaloniki runs across the town, from south to north. There is also a station on the old SPAP line used only by freight and departmental trains. A suburban railway station is under construction on the OSE mainline.
