The Police have announced a ban on public gatherings this Sunday in central Athens, as well as in Filothei and Chalandri, due to the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The ban will be in force from 6:00 a.m. on Sunday until 10:00 p.m. the same day.

Specifically, the Police state:
“It is announced that, by decisions of the Directors of the Athens Police Directorate and the Northeastern Attica Police Directorate, all public outdoor assemblies are prohibited on Sunday, 16-11-2025, from 06:00 until 22:00, on the occasion of the visit of the President of Ukraine to Athens, in the following areas enclosed by the streets:

Municipality of Athens

Vas. Konstantinou Ave – Vas. Olgas Ave – Vas. Amalias Ave – Xenofontos – Filellinon – Syntagma Square – Stadiou – Amerikis – Likavittou – Ilias Rogakou – Kleomenous – Ploutarchou – Rizari – Vas. Konstantinou Ave.
