A6 motorway (Greece)

Magoula (Greek: Μαγούλα) is a suburban town of Athens and former community (pop. 4,992 in 2011) of West Attica, located in the Thriasio Plain. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Elefsina, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 18.134 km.

Magoula is located 2 km east of Mandra, 5 km north of Elefsina and 21 km northwest of central Athens. The municipal unit of Magoúla also includes the village of Néos Póntos. Magoula is served by a station on the Athens Airport–Patras railway. The A6 motorway runs southeast of the town.

Attiki Odos (Greek: Αττική Οδός) (Attica Road) is a toll motorway system in Greece. The Attiki Odos motorways form the outer beltways of the Greater Athens metropolitan area. The total length of the motorways is 70 kilometres (43 mi). The Attiki Odos system currently consists of the following motorways:

• A6: Eleusis - Athens International Airport
• A62 (Ymittos Ring): Katechaki Avenue - Pallini
• A621: Doukissis Plakentias Avenue - Agia Paraskevi
• A64: Koropi - Athens International Airport
• A65 (Aigaleo Ring): Skaramagas - Ano Liosia

Line 3 of the Athens Metro is a rapid transit line that runs from Dimotiko Theatro in the west to Doukissis Plakentias or Athens Airport in the east, via Syntagma. Most Line 3 trains start or terminate at Doukissis Plakentias: a through service to the Airport leaves once every 36 minutes, and shares most of the extended route with the Athens Suburban Railway. It runs for 47.3 kilometres (29.4 mi), making it the system's longest line.

Line 3 provides a direct albeit infrequent service between the Port of Piraeus with the Athens International Airport, a journey that takes up to 59 minutes. The line between Dimotiko Theatro and Doukissis Plakentias is underground, and the shared section with the Athens Suburban Railway towards the Airport is a surface-level median of the A6 and A64 motorways.

The A62 motorway, also known as the Hymettus Ring Road (Greek: Περιφερειακός Υμηττού), and formerly signed as the A64 motorway until 2024, is a branch of the A6 motorway in the Attiki Odos motorway network. It is named after the Hymettus mountain range, which it partly encircles.

The motorway serves parts of eastern Athens, and planning is underway to extend it to the southern suburbs with a tunnel following Mount Hymettus to Elliniko, and it would ebd at Vouliagmenis Avenue. Another extension from the north-east end will extend further eastwards to the port of Rafina.

The A621 motorway, formerly signed as the A642 motorway until 2024, is a short motorway in the Athens metropolitan area, Greece. It forms a connection between the A6 motorway (Attiki Odos) to the north, and the A62 motorway (Hymettus Peripheral Road, formerly signed as the A64 motorway) to the east. Its length is 2 km.

On 4 December 2015, the Greek government proposed to renumber the A642 as the A621: In practice, the renumbering had not taken place until 2024, because road signs were still showing the motorway as the A642. As of July 2024, the renumbering is being implemented due to road sign maintenance.

The A64 motorway, formerly signed as the A62 motorway until 2024, is a short toll-free branch the A6 Attiki Odos motorway, which connects the Athens International Airport with the highway. Its length is 6 km (4 mi) and it serves as the main route to the Athens International Airport.

On 4 December 2015, the Greek government proposed to renumber the A62 as the A64: In practice, the renumbering had not taken place until 2024 and road signs still used to show the motorway as the A62. As of July 2024, the renumbering is being implemented as a result of motorway signs being replaced.

The A65 motorway, also known as the Egaleo Ring Road (Greek: Περιφερειακή Αιγαλέου), is a motorway in Athens. Part of the Attiki Odos highway system, it branches off the main A6 motorway, serving western Athens. It is named after the Egaleo mountain range it runs parallel to.

The motorway is meant to serve as a connector road with National Road 8, however, it remains unfinished as the construction of its southernmost 1.4 km section near Skaramagas was delayed and is expected to be completed by 2028.

Cholargos (Greek: Χολαργός, also: Holargos) is a town and a suburb in the Athens urban area, Greece, located northeast of the Athens city proper and about 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) away from Syntagma Square. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Papagou-Cholargos, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 3.950 km. The main thoroughfare is Mesogeion Avenue, which connects Cholargos with central Athens and the A6 motorway.

Cholargos was the name of a deme of ancient Attica. The most prominent citizen of ancient Cholargos was Pericles. Cholargos was part of the community of Chalandri until 1933, when it became a separate community. It became a municipality in 1963.
