'''Mati''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Mάτι meaning [[eye]]) is a village in [[Greece]]. This holiday resort is on the east coast of the [[Attica]] region, 29 kilometres (18 miles) east of [[Athens]].
==Overview==
Mati is a popular tourist destination harboring several hotels, fish restaurants, tavernas, cafés, bars, night clubs, open air cinemas, sandy beaches, yacht marinas and hotels. The harbour in nearby [[Rafina]] serves as an access point to the [[Aegean Sea]] and is frequently used by tourists to reach many of [[Greece]]'s numerous islands. The Penteli mountains that are covered with forests lie to the west and northwest. Beaches cover the eastern part and restaurants, hotels, and tavernas line the shore.
==Geography==
Rafina lies east of the [[Penteli]] mountains, on the Marathonas Avenue north of [[Rafina]] and south of [[Nea Makri]]. Mati is about 30 km east of downtown [[Athens]].
==Road and sea access==
The town can be accessed through Marathonos Avenue ([[Greece Interstate 54|GR-54]]) to the west or alternatively via the Dionissos mountains Northwest of Athens. Mati is closely located to the port of [[Rafina]], which serves as a local hub for holiday ferry boats to the Cyclades islands.
