DIRECTIONS:

Coming up Kifissias Avenue from the city centre:

Head North on Kifissias Avenue until you come to Maroussi (Spot a large Gilli Diet building on your left).

500m after you pass a left fork into Maroussi centre, look out for a platia & a large Germanos building on your left.

Take the RIGHT turn at the traffic lights (signposted for Melissia + Amelia Fleming Hospital) opposite this building.

If you pass the Shell petrol station in 50m on your right you have missed the turning!

Follow this road (Odos Pentelis) for a couple of Km (there is a sharp bend over a bridge after the first Km).

As you enter Melissia you will see a AB supermarket on your left opposite a bakery on your right.

Get in the right-hand lane NOW & slow down & quickly read the next 3-lines!

Almost immediately after the AB supermarket you will see a BP petrol station on your left.

You need to go left (up the hill) after the BP petrol station but a left turn into 25 Martiou is not allowed.

So just after the AB, turn RIGHT, go round the square and then go across Odos Pentelis.

You are now on 25 Martiou (and going up a hill).

(Hint: From now just keep going on this road until you see the sign pointing left & uphill to the Cemetery).

After about 800 metres you come to a major junction with traffic lights.

Go straight over - you are now on 17 November and will see shops either side.

Keep going straight ahead on 17 November (even though most traffic will go left).

(You will pass a large square and Saint George's church on your right).

17 November now becomes Ag Ioannou and after 500 metres joins Terpsitheas.

Bear right at Terpsitheas and then look out for the signs for the Melissia Cemetery (Nekrotafeio Melission).

Turn LEFT on Mouson & go uphill to the top of the road and then RIGHT on Skoufa which is the road to the Cemetery.

If you need help, ask for the Magginas Taverna or Plateia Ethniki Antistaseos which are close by.

We are meeting on the road called Skoufa leading to the Ano Melissia Cemetery. Watch for HHH signs.

Coming from Kifissia...

Get on Harilaou Trikoupi in Kifissia / Kefalari  - heading in the direction for Melissia.

At the South end of Harilaou Trikoupi, follow all the traffic LEFT towards Melissia.

After 500 metres there is a small roundabout etc. and almost all the traffic turns RIGHT and immediately LEFT.

Go this way & you will now pass a garden centre on your right opposite the large bakery on your left.

After 1km you reach a busy junction (this is Ano Melissia).

Most traffic turns right here - but you turn LEFT (towards the large square & Saint George's church).

(Hint: Now just keep going on this road until you see the sign pointing left & uphill to the Melissia Cemetery).

You are now on 17 November street which becomes Ag Ioannou and after 500 metres joins with Terpsitheas.

Bear right onto Terpsitheas and then look out for the signs for the Melissia Cemetery (Nekrotafeio Melission).

Turn LEFT on Mouson & go uphill to the top of the road and then RIGHT on Skoufa which is the road to the Cemetery.

If you need help, ask for the Magginas Taverna or Plateia Ethniki Antistaseos which are close by.
