List of Athens Metro stations
Template:Short description Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates
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 (Template:Stn, Template:Stn and Template:Stn) are owned by the Hellenic Railways Organisation and operated by Hellenic Train, while the Template:Stn 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 (Template:Metro and Template:Metro), 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 Template:Metro, Template:Metro and Template:Metro, 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 Template:Metro and Template:Metro (Lines 1 and 2), Template:Metro and Template:Metro (Lines 1 and 3), and Template:Metro (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. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template:Metro | Bay platform | Kifissia has a second track on the western side of the platform, and is in regular passenger use. | [23] |
| Template:Metro, Template:Stn, Template:Metro, Template:Metro, Template:Stn, Template:Metro (Line 3), Template:Stn, Template:Stn, Template:Metro | Island platform | Athens Airport has two island platforms, but Metro trains only use the middle track. | [24][25] |
| Template:Metro, Template:Metro, Template:Metro (Line 1), Template:Stn (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.[26][27][28]
| Station | Spaces | Structure | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template:Metro | 383 | Indoor, multistorey | [29] |
| Template:Metro | 280 | Outdoor | |
| Template:Stn | 630 | Outdoor | [27] |
| Template:Metro | 270 | Indoor, underground | [28] |
| Template:Metro | 604 | Indoor, underground | |
| Template:Stn | 642 | Indoor, underground |
The 240-space car park for Template:Metro, operated by Elliniko Metro, was closed due to the construction of Line 4.[30][31]
Future stations
Construction of the first stage of Line 4 began on 22 June 2021, with a target completion date of 2030.[32][33] 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 Template:Metro, under Patriarch Gregory V Street.[34] All the stations will be underground.[35] 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).[35]

| Template:Stl | Ελικώνος | File:Athens metro Elikonos 2-2023.jpg | Template:Rint | Galatsi | 2029–2030 | Elikonos was a late addition to Section A of Line 4: the residents of the area petitioned Elliniko Metro to add a second station in Kypseli, because of the long distance between Galatsi and Kypseli: Elliniko Metro struggled to find an appropriate location for the extra station because they feared that the elevation of the platforms would be around Template:Convert deep.[39]
On 16 December 2017, Elliniko Metro agreed to build Elikonos:[40] according to the April 2018 technical drawing, the station will still be one of the deepest on the Metro, at around Template:Convert.[41] |
