The Olympia Odos road network guide advises drivers to pay extra attention due to the mass departure of citizens over the three-day weekend, as, in addition to traffic jams, adverse weather conditions are predicted.

According to experts, traffic is expected to increase:

1. In the direction of Patras

  • Friday June 10 from 15:00 to 22:00
  • Saturday 11 June from 08:00 am to 03:00 pm.

2. Towards Athens:

  • Monday 13 June from 13:00 to 22:00.

The Olympia Odos guide reminds you of some basic rules for safe driving. We check the car before the trip, carefully follow the signs and traffic on the highway, take care of the safe transportation of trailers, bicycles and animals, observe the speed limit, do not drive or stop in the emergency lane. And to talk on the phone, we stop at one of the parking lots located along the highway (every about 10-15 km), writes iefimerida.gr.

According to the instructions of the traffic police, there is a ban on the movement of trucks over 3.5 tons on the Athens – Corinth – Patras highway (from diodiia in Elefsina to diodiia Rio) on the days of departure and return:

When leaving in the direction of Patras:

  • Friday 10 June 16:00-22:00,
