The Greek Motorway A64 (Greek: Αυτοκινητόδρομος 64), often referred to as the Hymettus Ring Road (Περιφερειακός Υμηττού) is a branch of the main A6 route in the Attiki Odos motorway network. It is named after the Hymettus mountain range it partly encircles.

Serving parts of eastern Athens, planning is under way to extend the motorway to the southern suburbs with a tunnel following Mt Hymettus to Elliniko, ending at Vouliagmenis Avenue. Another extension from the north-east end will extend further eastwards to the port of Rafina.[1]

History

On 4 December 2015, the Greek government proposed to renumber the A64 as the A62:[2] In practice, the renumbering did not take place, because road signs still show the motorway as the A64.
