Probonas is the northernmost neighborhood of Athens, located on its north-west angle. It borders Ano Patissia to the south, the town of Nea Chalkidona to the west, Perissos to the north and Rizoupoli, along with metro line 1 line to the east. On the west of Promponas, runs the torrent of Podoniftis, which is the border between the city of Athens and the municipality of Filadelfeia-Chalkidona.
Its name derives from Dimitrios Probonas (1874–1949), MP and doctor.
