“The management of the Athens Olympic Sports Center announces that following an Expert Report of the Technical Chamber of Greece and the relevant Decision of the Ministry of Sports, they are officially reopening from tomorrow, Friday, November 3, with special conditions for safe passage for entry, stay and exit, the following areas of OAKA:
