MAPS
GREATER ATHENS WITH PIRAEUS
INSET: CENTRAL ATHENS
Note (1): Names of streets, squares etc. used below and on the maps are as they are today.
Note (2): Transliteration of Greek text into the Latin alphabet follows the ISO 843, 1997 TR standard.
I created the above maps by overlaying OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps with my own data. Copyright on the OSM maps is © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under a CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence).
Please note that the OSM maps used as templates for these maps correspond to the situation at the time the maps were downloaded and may show features that did not exist at the time the GS Tram Site is supposed to show. In particular, they may show bridges and highways that were built later.
