In partnership with the organisation Me Alla Matia (Through the Eyes of Others), ‘This is Athens’ - the city’s visitors’ guide, is making stories of adventure, hidden destinations, and schedule of events accessible to all visitors. The team created an accessibility guide that raises awareness about places in the historic city centre that are technically accessible but cannot be reached from the surrounding area. Guidance photos show uneven surfaces, ramps, and barriers. This process helped the municipality to recognize the urgency and quickly deliver fully accessible routes by building ramps and removing barriers. The guide is published for residents and visitors in Greek and English, with four routes designed for blind pedestrians and four designed for users of wheelchairs.
