Sections

ACCESS

Access by Foot

The entrance is located on Ioannou Avgeri Str. The pavement is very large and continuous. It has ramps on both ends, but they are far from the entrance. The vehicle ramp at the main entrance is more convenient.

Pavement Ramps

Entrance

Vehicle ramp with a slight step; the street has light traffic.

P. Ioanou Avgeri Str. & Poseidonos Ave.

At the tram lines, the pavement is level. At the entrance of Resteio, it is interrupted without ramps but becomes lower. Afterwards, it remains continuous and wide for a long distance until the gym entrance.

Ioannou Fix & Moraitini Str.

The ramp system at this traffic light, although present, is inadequate. It is recommended to carefully use the road until the intersection with the tram lines, where the pavement is level. From there to the gym entrance, the sidewalk is continuous and wide.

Transportation Access

By Car

There is a designated parking area with several accessible spaces, marked with the disability symbol on the ground.

By Public Transport

The “FOROS” bus stop, towards Glyfada, is the closest accessible connection to the gym. There are two stops: one on the service road and one on Poseidonos Ave. They do not have boarding platforms, but there is enough space for the bus to approach the pavement and deploy the ramp properly. The two stops are connected by a level pedestrian crossing. Then comes the tram crossing and a small ramp on the pavement. The pavement thereafter is level, continuous, and wide.

Distance: 650 m.

The “TROKANTERO” tram stop connects to the gym through a large sidewalk that is interrupted in front of Resteio by a vehicle entrance. There is no ramp there, but the curb is low. Continue by turning right into a small road bordered by railings, which through properly sloped ramps leads to the gym’s parking area. The last ramp encountered is metal, with railings on both sides.

Distance: 750 m.
