Athens Kifissos Bus Terminal
Athens "Kifissos" Bus Station, also known as KTEL Kifissos Bus station, is the busiest intercity bus station in Athens. It is the largest bus terminal in Athens and the second-largest in Greece, the largest being the Thessaloniki "Macedonia" Intercity Bus Station. It is located in Peristeri towards Kifissou Avenue or European route E75. There are a lot of routes to Peloponnese, Epirus, Macedonia and Ionian Islands. For Thessaly and Central Greece there are routes from the second intercity Bus Station of Athens in Patisia known as "Athens Liosion Bus Station". Both of these stations will be replaced with the new Central bus station being built in Eleonas.
The bus station is used exclusively by KTEL buses. According to the latest available data, the station serves daily 24–44 thousands of passengers and around 12 million passengers annually. Due to the construction of new highways such as the A5 Ionia Odos and the A8 Olympia Odos, the routes have increased by 30% since 2009. The main buildings of the station are old and inadequate for a central bus station of a city like Athens. Inside the station, there are 63 ticket offices, some cafeterias and kiosks, and public toilets.
