A local would say...

Cars are banned and ancient Athens has been stitched back together — this is arguably the most stunning pedestrian promenade in Europe.

A spectacular 3km pedestrian promenade connecting Athens' most significant ancient sites — a grand unbroken walking corridor that transformed what was once one of Europe's most polluted and car-choked streets. Locals and tourists alike stroll the grand 'volta' under the floodlit Acropolis at dusk, with ruins and monuments seamlessly woven into everyday city life.
