Athinas Street

Famous buildings includes the Athens City Hall on the west side and office towers northward.

The oldest market in Athens[1] The rest of the architecture except for the city hall and square are modernistic.

In June 2008, the Mayor of Athens, Nikitas Kaklamanis, ordered the street pedestrianised.

In the 1990s, smaller lampposts were posted and the northern section along with Omonoia was under reconstruction and a section became a walkway, pedestrian traffic lights were added with full access to the Omonia metro station.
