Penteli (Greek: Πεντέλη) is a community currently divided into Palaia Penteli or Old Penteli, and Nea Penteli or New Pentéli communities. It is part of Athens metropolitan area and Athens' Megalo Daktylo. One of the city halls is located next to city square. It is one of the largest non-municipal communes in the prefecture. About 80% of the non-urban land consists of Penteli mountain. Its main streets are divided into two one-way streets linking to Kifissia and the other to Vrilissia and one linking north to Dionyssos and Rea.
The area in the western and the northern portion of Nea Penteli were made up of farmlands, while today it is covered with suburban development. Much of the population live in larger homes and the population is mainly low to mid density. The forests lie to the north and to the east on the Penteli mountain, while some urban areas lie sporadically in the northern and the eastern parts. The part of Penteli lies to the north and northeast.
Nea Penteli has few schools, lyceums, a gymnasium, banks, a post office and a few squares (plateies).
