[01] Athens street shutdowns for Independence Day parades Monday, Tuesday

On Monday, March 24, the day of students' parade, streets will be gradually shut down around Syntagma Square and Parliament as of 10:00 a.m. The measures will affect the immediate vicinity as well as the sections of Panepistimiou, Stadiou and Syngrou closest to the Square.

On Tuesday, March 25, traffic restrictions will be in effect earlier, as of 6:00 a.m. They will cover the area around the Church of Dionyssios Areopagitis in Kolonaki, where the official liturgy will be held, and extend more widely than Monday for the high school students' parade.

The measures will shut down completely the Omonia Square area and the streets/avenues of Agiou Konstantinou, Athinas, Panepistimiou, Stadiou and Akadimias, as well as sections of others like Patission and Syngrou closest to the centre.

Restrictions on Tuesday will be lifted around Kolonaki at the end of the liturgy and for the rest of Athens when the parade ends. The measures will affect all public and private transportation.

Similar restrictions will take place in other towns of Attica holding student parades.
