As part of the Olympic Games Athens 2004, the Kimis Avenue was designed as a connecting axis of Olympic Complex and the Olympic Village. A combination of human activities, residential areas, agricultural areas, the protected area of the Kifissos river and the Olympic Village characterize the route.
The main objectives of the landscape restoration aimed to the route’s attraction and safety in a manner to respect the existing surroundings, environment and functions.
The landscape design along the road aimed to give identity to the route, while having regional cohesion but also local characteristics.
The plant regeneration of slopes was achieved with native shrub species. The various junctions were also designed with plant material in order to create subspaces interrupting the linear character of the avenue.
