Greek National Road 81 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 81), abbreviated as the EO81, is a single carriageway road in Attica, Greece. It connects the northern suburbs of Athens with Kalamos, near the north coast of Attica.

Route

The EO81 is officially defined as a north–south route located within the East Attica regional unit. It branches off the EO83 at Agios Stefanos (Oeum) and heads north towards the Amphiareion, passing through Kapandriti and Kalamos.[2] The EO81 runs parallel to the A1 motorway between Agios Stefanos and the settlement of Taxiarches.

History

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO81 from the old EO9, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO81.[2][3]
