ALL SERVICES ARE A CLICK AWAY.
The new user-friendly portal of the City of Athens is now a click away. A modern and easy-to-use digital tool designed from scratch to meet the expectations of the citizens, professionals and visitors to the City of Athens.
A fresh look
The brand new https://cityofathens.gr is a modern digital tool, pleasant to browse and functional, replacing the previous outdated one after about a decade. The concept behind it is the ease of use, as the citizens access all information in a simplified way. This means that it is not necessary to know the municipality’s structure and services to ‘get’ the information one is looking for. The information is provided in a fast and straightforward way, with just a few clicks.
Through the “search” field of the home page, visitors can easily find all information related to the municipality, search for e-services such as issuance of parking cards for permanent residents, traffic control permits in the city’s inner ring, certificates of payment of Real Estate Tax for property transfer, etc. Furthermore, on the same site, one can find information on cultural events and programs curated by the municipality, as well as how to contact the relevant services for stray animals in Athens, etc.
The positive portal experience is further enhanced by organising essential information in specific thematic sections. Thus, users can easily find all the information on sports activities, cultural events, cleaning and recycling, green spaces and the environment, parking, health, children, the elderly, social solidarity, the disabled, lifelong learning, civil society, entrepreneurship and stray animals.
The Mayor of Athens, Kostas Bakoyannis, on the occasion of the presentation of the City of Athens new website, stressed: “The new, modern portal of the City of Athens is another digital step forward on the part of the current municipal authority to meet the needs of the citizens. The municipality has to serve its citizens effectively. Therefore, everything we do aims to reduce bureaucracy, meet the needs of all Athenians and professionals, and make Athens part of the new digital era. Furthermore, the new portal contributes to transparency, thus “building” a better and more straightforward relationship between the municipality and its citizens. We invite Athenians to browse it and discover the possibilities it offers”.
