Accessibility – Public Transport
Vyronas is an urban municipality of the Athens Metropolitan Area, which is connected by frequent bus and (electric) trolleybus services to the centre of Athens.
It is intersected by the Alimou-Katechaki/Karea Avenue, which directly connects the Municipality with the metropolitan motorway network of Attiki Odos and the southern suburbs.
Vyronas has a 2-line municipal transport service, which is provided absolutely free of charge to citizens, as part of the social policy of the Municipality.
Green spaces
The Municipality of Vyronas is developed at the foothills of Mount Ymittos and occupies a large and important part of this unique area of suburban greenery within its administrative boundaries. It is also surrounded by important open green spaces, sports and cultural areas of metropolitan importance, such as the Shooting Range park, Arapis Hill and the area of Vrachon Theatre.
Objectives and Priorities of the Municipality:
- to emphasise the promotion, upgrading and increase of open green spaces, such as the area of the Vrachon Theatre
- to promote innovative initiatives of collaboration with the citizens, such as frequent consultations in neighbourhoods, especially on sustainable mobility issues.
The Municipality of Vyronas has recently launched its first Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, while it is soon to complete the Electric Vehicle Charging Plan and install a significant number of public charging stations.
