The AUTO ATHENS 2024 Car Exhibition has opened its doors to the public today and will run until October 13 at the Metropolitan Expo.
Equally important is the opportunity for visitors to see the new models up close, satisfy their desire to get to know them, touch them, and form their own opinions about them.
AUTO ATHENS 2024 is the most significant event in our country related to the automotive industry and is held under the auspices of the Association of Motor Vehicle Importers Representatives (SEAA).
It runs from today until October 13, at the state-of-the-art Metropolitan Expo, located in Spata, near Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos.”
The exhibition hours are: Monday to Friday: 14:00-21:00, Saturday and Sunday: 10:00-21:00. The ticket price is 10 euros, with free entry for people with disabilities (PWDs) and children up to 12 years old.
All official Greek car dealerships are participating, both traditional and new, which began their commercial presence in our country last year or this year.
Thus, visitors have the opportunity to see over 20 national premieres of new cars that will be available in our country from now on, as well as more than 200 models in total.
In this context, it is worth mentioning what is present at the companies’ stands and what visitors can admire up close. Those who wish can take a test drive in a specially designed area.
