Drivers across Attica are facing significant delays, particularly those heading out of Athens for the weekend—starting as early as Friday afternoon, June 26, 2026. Heavy traffic is already reported on key routes, with the most severe congestion on the Kifissos Avenue northbound stretch near Moschato and from Aigaleo to Agioi Anargyroi.
Major Bottlenecks
Athens Highway (Attiki Odos) is also experiencing slowdowns—especially near Lykovrysi and along the airport-bound lane. Meanwhile, Athens’ central arteries are moving at a crawl: Vassilissis Amalias, Ardittou, Vassilissis Sofias, and Stadiou streets are all reporting extended delays.
The Athens–Corinth motorway section of Leoforos Athinon is heavily backed up, with congestion stretching from Haidari to Skaramagkas. Similarly, heavy traffic is affecting the southern suburbs along Poseidonos Avenue—from the Olympic Stadium (SEF) to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Travel Times Affected
According to real-time updates from Attiki Odos Traffic, drivers heading toward Eleusis face 15–20 minute delays between Plakentias and Metamorfosi. Those traveling toward Athens International Airport encounter 10–15 minute delays between Metamorfosi and Penteli.
