The chief spokesman for Greece’s fire brigade said there were no longer any active wildfires in the wider area of Athens, but officials remained on high alert.
He told the BBC firefighters would continue to water the area and maintain a strong presence in the area.
Mild winds and extensive efforts by emergency services helped bring the blaze under control.
But there is still a risk of an outbreak due to gusty winds and daytime temperatures well above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
The fires burned 100,000 acres (40,470 hectares), killing one woman and injuring dozens of people, including firefighters. Thousands of local residents have been evacuated.
A huge smoke cloud that hung over Athens for hours disappeared on Tuesday, but the sky remained cloudy.
Greek authorities are currently assessing the damage and developing compensation plans for affected residents and businesses.
More than 700 firefighters, 199 fire trucks and 35 water bombing aircraft were involved in battling the blaze, which first broke out on Sunday afternoon about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of the Greek capital.
As of Monday, fires were confirmed in 40 different locations, with fires reaching 25m (82ft) in some areas.
Although the fire has largely subsided, firefighters continue to put out fires on the ground and maintain a strong presence in the Capital Region.
The suburbs of Nea Penteli, Vrilissia and Patima Halandriou are among the worst affected areas.
Marina, a resident of Nea Penteli, described how she was forced to flee her neighborhood in Nea Penteli for a nearby town, but was evacuated a second time when the fire spread there too.
“My friend’s house – he probably lost everything: he had no possessions. Even our school burned down when this happened. All our memories are there,” she told the BBC.
Buildings and businesses were destroyed by fire in Vrilissia, just 14 kilometers (8 miles) from central Athens.
The body of a 63-year-old woman was found in a burnt-out factory near Patimaharan Derio.
Colleagues said she was too frightened to jump from the building as the flames approached, leaving her trapped inside.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis cut his vacation short and returned to deal with the crisis.
After the EU launched the civil mutual protection mechanism, Italy, France, Serbia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Romania and other European countries provided aircraft, personnel, aid and other assistance to Greece.
