Ambitious pedestrian and bicycle path in Attica set to be completed by late 2025

·

The new pedestrian-bicycle path along the Athenian Riviera is set to be completed by the end of 2025.

Αccording to an article by Giorgos Lialios in Kathimerini.com, a small section is already built in Glyfada, though it faced objections from the Municipality of Elliniko, as it runs through residential areas instead of along the beachfront due to ongoing development.

The 18-kilometre, €19.3-million path will stretch from Kallithea to Vari-Voula-Vouliagmeni Town Hall, linking five municipalities and incorporating new green spaces.

“It is about an urban walk, a cycle path and a pedestrian path that connects the maritime urban landscape of five municipalities, creating a complete route, with the expansion of parking areas, regeneration and creation of new green spaces,” said Nikos Hardalias, governor of the Attica region, which has the responsibility of the project’s construction and maintenance.
