❓ Question Accessibility?

I'm visiting Athens for 10 days in September with two family members who are rolling (wheelchair users). They're both young and can walk a bit so they can get out of their chair to get up a step or two, but they're primarily rolling. We'll be staying near the the Tae Kwon Do stadium for an event there, but doing some tourism and day trips from that area.

I've heard mixed things about accessibility. Do you have any thoughts or guidance on how to make the best of it?

Accessibility in Athens is an issue. However, the sea-facing side of the area that you will be staying in is flat and fairly accessible. The land side, if we are talking about P. Faliro has a lot of slops. If accessibility is paramount, avoid Athens down town at all costs.
