Nea Smyrni (Néa Smýrni, "New Smyrna") is a municipality in South Athens, Greece. At the 2011 census, it had 73,076 inhabitants.[1] It was named after the former Greek city Smyrna (today's İzmir in Turkey), whence many refugees arrived and settled in the Nea Smyrni area following the 1922 catastrophe of Asia Minor and the Great fire of Smyrna, as a result of the Greco-Turkish war.
