Quiet parking, difficult access
119 Artemidos, 263 31, Patra
Been here?
This is a relatively quiet parking spot with a view towards eastern Patras and the mountains. The access road is steep and narrow, with a 3T limit, large potholes and difficult turns, and the area is dirty beneath radio antennas. It can work for one night, although the walk into town is difficult.

Not a great spot. Lots of condoms on the ground. We stopped around 4 p.m. and five cars passed through the spot.
The climb is prohibited for vehicles over 3 tonnes, and I understand why: it is steep and narrow. To enter the parking area, don't take the sharp turn, and at the top avoid the enormous potholes. You can't see the sunset, just part of the city. It's dirty and under the radio antennas. In short, I'm leaving immediately.
Stayed one night, everything was great! A radio-mast technician warned me that the antennas emit a lot of radiation and that I would get a headache after an hour, so I moved to a nearby spot. It was quiet at night, and I really enjoyed being woken by the sun in the morning while looking down over the city.
Was there only during the day. It felt safe and calm with nice view on the mountains. I moved somewhere else for night, since I had other other plans and I have regretted that decision since spots around Patras are quite busy (laud).
Very quiet place with a view of the city. We slept one night and nobody came to disturb us.
