Transport in Greece

Transport is free for the blind and their guides in Athens; they also benefit from a 50% reduction in the other cities of the country.

 

The metro and trains have been adapted for blind people, but the capital's traffic lights are not equipped with audible alarms.

 

In general, the daily life of people with disabilities in Athens is complicated and a large number of blind people use taxis to get around.
