Sidewalks are narrow. Streets are made of cobblestone.

Couldn’t get into most stores die to being on a scooter but was able to do the hop on hop off tours

Athens has an issue with allowing permanent obstructions in their sidewalks, gateways blocking all but a foot of pavement on either side, sign posts, lamp posts, and pavement with a clear history of having broken decades ago. At three separate occasions I had to lift either the front or the back end of the scooter to get it through obstructions-and the machine is heavy. Sidewalk cuts are very inconsistent-one side grants access to a crosswalk without an inlet on the other side, etc. Ermou was really a dream of accessibility after our trek from the hotel to Acropolis. My wife required the scooter, but I found myself leaning on the back of the seat to hold the drive wheels down on the pavement when it got really bumpy.

It was almost impossibile for me to get on and off of sidewalks autonomously. Sidewalks are often narrow and the whole wheelchair could not pass entirely.
