List of Athens Metro stations

The Athens Metro is a rapid transit system serving the Athens urban area and parts of East Attica. As of 10 October 2022, there are 66 stations on three different lines. 62 of the 66 stations are owned and operated by Urban Rail Transport S.A. (STASY): three stations (Pallini, Paiania–Kantza and Koropi) are owned by the Hellenic Railways Organisation and operated by Hellenic Train, while the Athens Airport station is owned and operated by the airport authority that owns and manages Athens International Airport.

The opening of the second phase of the Line 3 extension towards Piraeus, in October 2022, added two new stations to the network (Dimotiko Theatro and Maniatika), bringing the total to 66.^[1]

Overview

All Athens Metro trains and stations are accessible for wheelchair users.^[2] However, Transport for Athens (OASA) advises wheelchair users of Line 1 to travel in the leading car, and to ask staff to deploy a portable boarding ramp (located on the platforms) at Agios Nikolaos, Monastiraki and Omonia, because the curved platforms at these stations leave a significant gap between the train and the platform.^[3]

Stations

Listed for each of the 66 stations are the lines serving it, the local authority in which it is located, and the date when it opened. The spelling of the station names on this table, in English and Greek, are according to the signage. Interchange stations are counted once: they are currently five of them, at Attiki and Omonia (Lines 1 and 2), Monastiraki and Piraeus (Lines 1 and 3), and Syntagma (Lines 2 and 3).

Station layouts

Most Athens Metro stations have two tracks and two side platforms. The following stations have a different layout:

Station(s)	Layout	Notes	Ref.
Kifissia	Bay platform	Kifissia has a second track on the western side of the platform, and is in regular passenger use.	[26]
Agios Dimitrios, Athens Airport, Egaleo, Ethniki Amyna, Koropi, Monastiraki (Line 3), Paiania–Kantza, Pallini, Tavros	Island platform	Athens Airport has two island platforms, but Metro trains only use the middle track.	[27][28]
Irini, Neo Faliro, Omonia (Line 1), Piraeus (Line 1)	Spanish solution	Irini has a third track to the south, for terminating trains only. Neo Faliro has a third track to the north, and is not in regular passenger use.

Park and ride facilities

There are six park and ride facilities: four are managed by STASY, and two by Elliniko Metro.^[29][30][31]

Station	Spaces	Structure	Ref.
Agia Marina	383	Indoor, multistorey	[32]
Chalandri	280	Outdoor
Doukissis Plakentias	630	Outdoor	[30]
Kerameikos	270	Indoor, underground	[31]
Nomismatokopio	604	Indoor, underground
Syngrou–Fix	642	Indoor, underground

The 240-space car park for Katechaki, operated by Elliniko Metro, was closed due to the construction of Line 4.^[33][34]

Future stations

Construction of the first stage of Line 4 began on 22 June 2021, with a target completion date of 2030.^[35][36] The project will create fourteen new stations and make Evangelismos an interchange station with Line 3. Akadimia will be a standalone station, but there will be a direct tunnel connection with Line 2 at Panepistimio, under Patriarch Gregory V Street.^[37] All the stations will be underground.^[38] Except for Evangelismos, the spelling of the station names on this table, in English and Greek, are according to Elliniko Metro (the infrastructure manager of the Athens Metro).^[38]
