ACCESS
Access by Foot
Approaching the shopping centre on foot is a bit of a puzzle box rather than a straight line. The block sits slightly lower than Kifisias Avenue, so level access is limited. There are three sets of steps from the avenue down towards the centre. All have handrails on both sides at two heights, but no visual contrast strips on the steps. The pavements at the rear entrance, where the Museum entrance is located, do not include ramps. Step-free access is only possible via the OAKA complex and the “EIRINI” station.
- There are two adjacent ramps at the junction of Kifisias Ave. and Agιsilaou Str., connecting to the Ministry of Civil Protection. The ramps are not signposted, while the pavement area is often occupied by motorbikes. From these ramps to the entrance of the shopping centre there are two additional pavement ramps, for vehicle access to the parking area, and one steep inclined surface.
- On the opposite side of Kifisias Avenue there is a ramp on the service road which leads to the inclined plane for the underpass and, ultimately, to the main entrance of the shopping centre that hosts the Museum.

- The bus stop “OLYMPIAKO STADIO” on Kifisias Ave. does not have a kerb extension; however, there is sufficient space for the vehicle to approach and deploy its ramp.
