THE CITY of Athens on November 2 presented a new municipal parking system, more than six years after the last attempt to charge for parking in the congested Greek capital was abandoned. According to outgoing Athens Mayor Theodoros Behrakis, the new system will take effect on November 20, with the first phase of implementation involving a total of 5,494 parking spaces, 2,538 of which will be exclusively reserved for permanent residents. One thousand spaces will be designated for special use - ministries, public welfare organisations - while the remaining 1,956 are for short-term visitors. The municipality of Athens is the largest district - in terms of size and population - in what is known as the greater Athens area, or Athens-Piraeus, a region of the Attica prefecture that includes dozens of municipalities and roughly half of Greece's total population. Behrakis said permanent residents will be able to park in their designated spaces without time limitations for an annual fee of 10 euros.
