womens day: International Womens Day

Women in Greece can use public transport for free on the International Women's Day on Sunday.

All women (International Womens Day) can travel with transport facilities in Athens and the second largest city of Thessaloniki free of charge, and travel for free with Hellenic Railways and the KTEL bus services all over Greece, said Transport and Communications Minister Evripidis Stylianidis.

"This initiative indicates a minimum symbolic gesture of recognition for the role and contribution of women (International Womens Day) in modern-day society," the minister said.

He hoped that through these activities, people will have the awareness to honor and respect women (International Womens Day) all year round.
