==Geography==

Rodopoli is situated in the hills in the northeastern part of the [Athens](/source/Athens) conurbation, at about 400 m elevation. It lies at the northwestern foot of the [Penteliko Mountain](/source/Penteliko_Mountain). It is 1&nbsp;km south of [Stamata](/source/Stamata), 2&nbsp;km north of [Dionysos](/source/Dionysos%2C_Greece) and 19&nbsp;km northeast of [Athens](/source/Athens) city centre.
