It extended along the eastern part of the bay of Phaleron, the first port of the polis of Athens, following a course parallel to the shoreline, today artificially filled up with extensive earth deposits that have dramatically altered its original natural setting. On the basis of recent studies, the area is geologically characterized by the occurrence of shoreline sedimentary rocks or beach rocks, while the southeast end of the bay was covered by sand dunes and, an old saline swamp.
