Gerakas (Greek: Γέρακας), is a suburb in the northern part of Athens, Greece, close to Penteli mountain. The nearest Athens Metro subway station is at Doukissis Plakentias subway station. Between March 2001 and February 2003, the east section ended at Gerakas Street which is now an overpass and is passed through the south and the west. Gerakas is accessed with the Attiki Odos (number 6)/E94 via Doukissis Plakentias which is also accessed with GR-1/E75 (Athens - Lamia - Thessaloniki), GR-8/E94 and Eleftherios Venizelos. It is located SE of GR-1/E75 (Athens - Lamia - Thessaloniki), E of Kifissia Avenue, W of Rafina, NW of Sounio and Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and about 12 km NE of downtown Athens. Another main street was a difficult road linking to GR-1.

The area was made up of farmlands. Farmlands used to dominate the land which included groves. In the 1970s and the 1990s, urban development and a few businesses replaced much of the farmlands. Also, the industrial area is around the western part. Today, most of the land is residential area. Gerakas has a few empty spaces which turned into parks. The Parnitha can be seen, and so can the Penteli mountains to the northeast. The higher parts of the mountains of Aegaleo and the Hymettus to the south can also be seen.
