Driving
---------
FROM THE SOUTH:
Coming from Athens go up Kifissias Avenue.
Go through / past Maroussi.
Pass a cinema complex on your left.
Syngrou Park is now on your right. Continue on up in the right hand lane for 1/2 km or so. At the traffic light junction for the KAT hospital turn RIGHT into the Syngrou Park car park.

NOTE: If you pass the park and start to enter Kifissia you have gone past the car-park entrance. With heavy traffic you may have to turn around at the Kifissia park / bus station (Get in the left-hand lane).

FROM THE NORTH:
Going southwards on Kifissias Avenue.
Go through/past Kifissia.
Get into the left-hand traffic lane & then turn left at the KAT traffic lights - directly into the Syngrou Park car park entrance.

NOTE: If you reach the Odeon Cinema complex on you right-hand side you have gone too far. Turn round here, as there are traffic lights, else you may end-up in Maroussi.

By Metro / Electrico
--------------------------
Take the Piraeus - Kifissia line and get off at the KAT (hospital) station. Once out of the station, walk up the road at right angles to the railway tracks in the direction of the KAT hospital. You will immediately pass the Venetis store on your right. Keep straight and in 450 metres you reach Kifissias Ave. Immediately across the road is the Syngrou car park entrance.
Remember, this line is slow so leave plenty of time.
