Athens: Metro/Subway


Omonia Station: Oldest and
one of the busiest in the center


Metro Line 1 takes the rider throughout its course
below the streets, over the streets or at grade level.
Here we have an outdoor station.

The southern terminus of Metro Line 1
at the Port of Pireas

Often regarded as one of the most
efficient metro lines built,
taking the rider
from the port of Athens,
through industry and warehouses,
middle class neighborhoods, chic neighborhoods,
the city center, University and College District,
an array of socio-economic neighborhoods
before reaching its northern terminus
in an upscale neighborhood.
