Tolls to rise on Attiki Odos highway on July 1 and January 1

Tolls on the Attiki Odos national highway will rise in two stages, on July 1 and on January 1, 2020, the company said on Friday.

All categories of vehicles will see rises. For cars in particular, current tolls of 2,80 euros will rise to 3,00 euros on July 1 and to 3,30 euros on January 1, they said.

Justifying its decision, the Attiki Odos SA said that "despite the rise in inflation and the significant drop in the number of vehicles, and with understanding of the financial difficulties in Greece, the contractor kept the price of tolls at the same level for the last 13 years." The exception they said was a slight increase (0.10 euros) in July 2010, bringing the car toll to the current 2.80-euro level in orcer to cover the successive rises in VAT tax.

The 3,30 euros will still include a lower median price than that allowed by contract terms, Attiki Odos said, calling on drivers to make use of its e-pass at lower prices.
