Traffic on the Athens-Corinth National Road has eased significantly, with the final large group of Easter holidaymakers having departed from Attica.

From early morning until early afternoon, traffic was especially heavy. Vehicles were moving slowly from the Aigaleo Ring Road to the Elefsina exit, and along Athinon Avenue from Haidari to Aspropyrgos. Congestion was also reported from the Elefsina toll station up to Megara.

The situation was better on the Athens-Lamia National Road, where vehicles moved at a steady pace, with occasional minor delays at the Afidnes toll station.

Nearly Half a Million Vehicles Departed Attica

According to the Attica Traffic Police, this year’s Easter exodus is roughly on par with last year’s.

Specifically, between 6:00 a.m. on Holy Monday and 6:00 p.m. on Good Friday, 420,640 vehicles passed through the toll stations heading toward Corinth and Lamia. During the same period last year, 425,210 vehicles had exited Attica.
