New Disabled Lift Installed At The Acropolis Of Athens

Coinciding with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, an emblematic project was inaugurated on Thursday, December 3 by the Greek Prime Minister.

A new lift that will enable wheelchair users, elderly citizens, and people with mobility problems to visit the monuments of the Acropolis has been installed at the Acropolis Hill. The lift will carry disabled visitors from the level of the ancient promenade, on the northern slope of the Acropolis, to the top of the hill.

“Today, we inaugurate the new lift and also the designed routes to make the Acropolis Hill accessible to everyone,” the Prime Minister said with regards to the much-anticipated project. The project was bankrolled by the Onassis Foundation, which has also paid for two electric cars for people with disabilities and the new illumination of Athens' most important archaeological site.
