Car access via Kifisias Avenue or Attiki Odos, expect heavy traffic
Drivers are directed to follow Kifisias Avenue and signs marked OAKA or Olympic Stadium, or to leave Attiki Odos at Exit 11 for the Kifisias Olympic Stadium junction. Traffic around the complex can become heavy on event nights because of the venue's distance from the centre and high demand for road access.
On site parking for roughly 750 vehicles at the arena
The Indoor Basketball Arena itself provides a parking lot for about 750 spectator vehicles plus 40 VIP vehicles, with accessible entrances at the middle tier level for disabled visitors. This is separate from the wider OAKA complex, which has additional outer car parks.
