The neighbourhood

Psachou and Zarouchleika, next to the South Port

Mavromataion Street (Μαυροματαίων) is about 150 m long. It lies in the Psachou district, in the Zarouchleika quarter of the South Sector of Patras.

Transport apps label the wider area Terpsi, the district around the new South Port, the city's ferry terminal for Italy. It is a dense residential quarter of apartment blocks between the port and South Park, within walking distance of St Andrew General Hospital and the Koukouli university campus.

The Eglykada junction of the Patras Ring Road (A5) serves the port, Zarouchleika and St Andrew Hospital, so the motorway to Athens is reached without crossing the city centre.

The centre point of the street is 38.2286 N, 21.7331 E. The exact building address is given on request.

How we measured. Straight-line distances are calculated from the centre point of Mavromataion Street (38.2286 N, 21.7331 E). Walking and driving distances and times come from OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM) in free-flowing traffic, measured in September 2026. They start from the street, not the building door, so real journeys can differ by a few minutes. The public-transport time to Rio is our estimate from the published timetables. Figures in earlier project brochures, such as 1.2 km to the hospital and 3 km to the centre, are superseded by these.
