It is located east of Thessaloniki's city centre at an average elevation of . It borders on the Thessaloniki districts of Saranta Ekklisies to the northwest and of Ano Toumpa to the southeast. Motorway 25, which forms the eastern beltway of Thessaloniki, passes east of Triandria. The suburb (borough) is named after the World War I-era "Triumvirate of National Defence" (Τριανδρία της Εθνικής Αμύνης), comprising the statesman Eleftherios Venizelos, together with Admiral Pavlos Koundouriotis and General Panagiotis Danglis.
Triandria has four elementary schools, two gymnasiums and a lyceum. There is also a church of Saint Spyridon. The first church was housed in a stable in 1915 with the arrival of the first Asia Minor refugees. After the Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922, a wooden Church of Saint Spyridon was built on the site of the old church (stable), as he is the protector saint of shoemakers, the job of most refugees in the area.
