Glyfada (Greek: Γλυφάδα) is a rather exclusive municipality of Athens in Greece south of Ellinikon and Athens with three main roads. In ancient times, the area was a deme known as Aixone (Αιξώνη). Glyfada is a beach town packed with restauants, and is known (among Greeks and tourists alike) for its vibrant nightlife. It is arguably the most "Americanized" of Athens' municipalities, as an American airbase was located nearby in the 1980's, with the base's population helping to shape Glyfada's character in terms of the types of restaurants and shopping centers there, leading to an interesting blend of Greek and American atmosphere, aesthetics, and cuisine. Glyfada was also the original location of the junior division of one of Greece's oldest English-language schools, Campion. Although the base is now gone and the school relocated, Glyfada has still retained some of its American flavor, while continuing to offer its distinctly Greek cuisine, entertainment, and nightlife.
