Moving in Athens and Attica
Center, north, south, west, east — AB Metaforiki handles moving in Athens and Attica with local knowledge of streets, parking hours and sidewalks in every neighborhood. Since 2006.
Athens and Attica aren't one place — they're dozens of different neighborhoods
Anyone who works in moving knows it: Exarcheia is not Kifisia. A truck that fits in Marousi won't fit in Monastiraki. In Plaka, parking is a battle. In the southern suburbs, it's a question of building complex rules. In the west, the traffic pattern changes. Eighteen years of experience have taught us the character of each area, so we plan every move in Athens and Attica the right way.
Areas we cover for moving in Athens and Attica
Center & Historic Center
Plaka, Monastiraki, Psyrri, Thiseio, Kerameikos, Metaxourgeio, Omonia, Exarcheia, Neapoli, Victoria Square. The main challenge: parking and access through narrow one-way streets. The solution: smaller 12–16 m³ trucks or a sidewalk-use permit.
Pagkrati, Neos Kosmos, Koukaki
Apartments in '70s–'90s buildings. Elevators are usually available but often too small to fit a sofa. We bring a balcony lift for these cases.
Ampelokipoi, Gyzi, Pedion Areos
Our home base. We know Ampelokipoi like the back of our hand. Frequent moves in apartments around the Hospital area and Ampelakion Street.
Kolonaki, Lycabettus, Dexameni
Old neoclassical buildings, narrow streets, strict hours. We pay special attention to protecting floors (often marble or mosaic) and stairwells.
