From
the South:
Follow Kifisias Ave northwards towards Marousi and at the Marousi
square & ex-Germanos building on the left, turn RIGHT for
Melissia, (see small sign for Melissia in Greek). Carry on up this
road (Odos Pendelis ...changing to Democratias further up) until you
come to a hairpin bend. After the bend, the 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).
After passing the church just continue on this road (after a while it
will curve to the right) and shortly you will come to the taverna area
(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.
