The Artemida Municipal Community Council will meet on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 8.00 pm, via videoconference, with four items on the agenda. The invitation is signed by the Council Chair, Spyridon Armiros, and was issued on 18 September with reference number 75700.
The issue that concerns most people is the second one: the change to the operating schedule of the Artemida Street Market between Spetson and Amfitritis Streets. The Artemida street market operates on Saturdays and changes location twice a year in accordance with the 2017 layout: it is set up on Amfitritis Street for one period and on Spetson Street for another, stretching from the beach to Ypapantis, along with Themistokleous Street from Spetson to Triainis and the surrounding streets. Today, the market is in Spetson. If the rotation dates change, so too does the month in which residents will go shopping on a different street — and, for those living on the street, the month in which they will see market stalls in front of their homes.
The fourth item concerns the renaming of an unnamed road in the Artemida Municipal Unit to ‘Agios Porfyrios’ Street. In the invitation, the road is identified by the cadastral codes KAEK 05023EK00086 and 05023EK00095. Naming is not merely a procedural formality for those who live there: a street with a name acquires an address that is recognised on bills, in deliveries, in contracts and — above all — by the National Ambulance Service (EKAV) and the Fire Brigade. Artemida still has dozens of numbered and unnamed streets, a remnant of the haphazard development of past decades.
The third item concerns the granting of an extension to the operating hours for music and musical instruments at the establishment of public health interest known as ‘MACAMBO’. Requests of this kind are normally referred to the Community Council before receiving final approval, and this is the stage at which any objections from local residents regarding noise are recorded.
The first item is a decision regarding the correction of property boundaries in Town Planning Unit 13 of the Artemida Municipal Unit. This involves the correction of boundaries and areas in land registry entries — the type of case that has left owners in limbo for years and has blocked building permits and property transfers.
The meeting will be held via teleconference, in accordance with the provisions of Article 167 of Law 5314/2026. For further information, please contact Nikolaos Pittaras on 213 2007391 or at npittaras@spata.gr. The Artemida Community Council comprises ten councillors: Spyridon Katsis, Roxani (Anna) Tsitsani, Christos Chondropoulos, Konstantinos Dimogiannis, Adam Ktistakis, Barbara Konstantinidou, Maria Arnidou, Aikaterini Karetta, Alexandros Kesissoglou (Alekos Mandas) and Christina Vernesou.
The Municipal Community Council does not make final decisions on most of these matters; it offers advice and makes recommendations to the Municipal Council and the municipal authorities. However, it is the first and closest forum where a local issue in Artemida is formally brought up for discussion, and the agenda is made public before the meeting — meaning it is available to anyone wishing to approach a councillor in advance. We will provide an update on the decisions.
