Mis-directions:
Meet at Ano Melissia - Open Air Theatre - At the Northern end of Iroon Polytechniou Street, Ano Melissia.
From
the South:
Follow Kifissias Ave northwards towards Maroussi and at the Maroussi square
on the left (note ceramic pots on poles) & Germanos building on the left,
turn RIGHT for Melissia. Carry on up this road (Odos Pendelis ...changing
to Democratias further up) until you come to a hairpin bend. After the bend,
ski shop (right) and kiosk (left) continue on up until you see a large BP
petrol station on your left (just before you enter the centre of Melissia).
You need to turn LEFT here but you can't (legally). You must turn Right and
go round the grass island (as the sign indicates) in order to turn left. Continue
on up the hill (this is 25th March street), passing the Amelia Fleming hospital
on your right and continue STRAIGHT on, through the traffic lights at the
cross roads (when green!).

Directions for all routes >>>>>
Continue straight and pass the big Eleftherias square (Ano Melissia) on your
right and then St. George's church on your right (Note: the road has now become
17th November street - which further on becomes Agiou Ioannou Street). After
passing the church just continue on this road (after a while it will curve
to the right and becomes Terpsitheas Street) and shortly you will come to
the taverna area called Magginas (you will see a bus stop on the left). Park
around here or turn right and go down and park around or behind the Theatre
/ playground area.
From
Kifissia / Ekali / Politia etc:
Come the back way on Harilaou Trikoupi street towards Ano Melissia, passing
Kefalari square on your right. Continue on straight, then round the Left,
Right and Left bends and continue straight again (sign posted for Melissia,
Stavros, Airport, etc). When you arrive at the (usually busy) T-junction in
Ano Melissia, turn LEFT onto 17th November street (NOTE: At this junction,
most of the traffic will be turning right). Now see Continued Directions ABOVE.
