Greek National Road 83 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 83), abbreviated as the EO83, is a national road in Attica, Greece. The EO83 is an inverted U-shaped road that runs between Athens and Rafina, via Marathon Dam and Marathon.
Route
The EO83 is officially defined as an inverted U-shaped road in Attica: it branches off the EO54 at Ampelokipoi in Athens, and passes through Kifissia (via Kifisias Avenue), Agios Stefanos (Oeum) and Marathon, before meeting the EO54 at a junction west of Rafina.[2] The section between Marathon and Rafina is on the route of the Athens Classic Marathon, with the remainder of the race route mostly along the EO54.[3]
History
Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO83 from the old EO8, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO83.[2][4]
Proposed public transport links
Part of the planned extension of Athens Metro Line 4 from Goudi to Marousi may run under or parallel to the EO83, between the Faros and OTE stations.[5]
