Athens By Metro

Most of the Athens metro ( h M-Th 5:30am-midnight, F-Sa 5:30am-2am, Su 5:30am-midnight.) was rebuilt for the 2004 Olympics. It consists of three lines. Metro Line 1 is green and runs from northern Kifisia to the port of Piraeus, connecting to Suburban Rail at Neratziotissa. Metro Line 2 is red and currently runs from Ag. Antonios to Ag. Dimitrios, eventually continuing to Anthoupoli and Helliniko toward the Saronic Gulf. Metro Line 3 is blue and now runs from Egaleo, west of the city center, to Doukissis Plakentias, where it intersects the Suburban Rail and the airport. After renovations it will continue northwest to Haidari, and ultimately may be extended to Port Zea in Piraeus. A new metro line is planned to run from Alsos Veikou to Maroussi, looping across both the red and blue lines.
