The week from Sunday 4 to Saturday 10 October will see three stations on Metro Line 3 closing earlier than usual, three scheduled power cuts in Spata and, on Friday, the White Night event, which has been rescheduled due to the weather. Along with the matches involving our two teams and an EYDAP (the Athens water and sewerage company) deadline that’s fast approaching, here’s everything you need to know.
Metro: Sunday 4 – Thursday 8 October
The ‘Eleonas’, ‘Kerameikos’ and ‘Monastiraki’ stations close at 21:40, two and a half hours before the end of services, to allow for track replacement works between Eleonas and Monastiraki. This is the second phase of the works, following the period from 27 September to 1 October. During these hours, trains will run separately on the ‘Municipal Theatre – Aigaleo’ and ‘Syntagma – Doukissis Plakentias – Airport’ sections.
For anyone travelling from Artemida to the airport or Syntagma, nothing changes. Things are different for those returning late from Monastiraki, Gazi or Piraeus: after 21:40, they will need to take the OASA (the Athens public transport authority)’s temporary bus route X24, ‘Syntagma Metro Station – Aigaleo Metro Station’, to reach Syntagma and continue eastwards on the Metro. More on the alternatives in our article of 16 September.
Power cuts in Spata
HEDNO has scheduled three power cuts in Spata this week:
- Sunday 4 October, 08:00–17:00: Christoupoli (Zenonos, Dryadon, Epikourou, Aristotelous, Polykleitos, Sophocleous, unnamed streets and cul-de-sacs), VIPA and Spata–Pikermi Avenue.
- Tuesday 7 October, 08:00–14:00: the plain on the border with Paiania and Koropi, near the airport.
- Friday 9 October: 08:00–13:00 in the Petres area, on Spata–Pikermi Avenue, on Eleftherias Street and on unnamed rural roads; 12:00–16:00 on the plain between Paiania, Spata and Koropi, near the airport.
At Artemida, the next scheduled power cut is on Tuesday 13 October, 08:00–17:00, in Loutsa and Neapoli: Neapoleos, Skoufa, Chasion, Trikala, Meteora, Karaiskaki, Nikolitsa, Eirinis, Agrafon, Agios Nikolaos, Kritis, Chios, Ermou and surrounding streets. Scheduled power cuts may be cancelled or rescheduled, so it is worth checking the HEDNO ‘Scheduled Power Cuts’ page on the morning of the same day.
Monday 5 October: Spata–Loutsa Community Council
The Spata–Loutsa Municipal Community Council is meeting at 8.00 pm. Among the items on the agenda is the music playing hours at the ‘YES I DO’ shop.
Friday 9 October: White Night
The White Night, which was postponed on Friday 2 October due to the weather, will take place on Friday 9 October on Artemida Avenue, from 18:00. For the original date, the avenue was due to be closed to traffic from 17:00. If the arrangements remain the same, drivers would be well advised to avoid the area from the afternoon onwards. The programme and cost of the evening are detailed here, and the postponement here.
Football
On Sunday 4 October at 16:30, AO Artemis, unbeaten in their first three matches of the EPSANA First Division, play Aris in Voula. At the same time, Aittitos Spata, fresh from 1–0 and 4–2 victories against Nea Makri and Pallavreotikos respectively, travel to Gerakas for their match against AO Atlantis. On Saturday 10 October at 16:15, Artemis will host Palliniakos at the Artemida ground.
