Athens Metro Line 3 stations to close earlier due to track work

Athens Metro's "Blue Line" (Line 3) will undergo significant changes starting Sunday, June 28, as four key stations will close earlier each evening. This measure, implemented to facilitate critical track replacement work, will affect nightly travel for commuters.

The stations slated for early closure, shutting down at 9:40 PM daily from Sunday to Thursday, are Megaro Mousikis, Ambelokipi, Panormou, and Katechaki. During the hours of track work, train services on Line 3 will be limited to two separate segments: "Dimotiko Theatro – Evangelismos" and "Ethniki Amyna – Doukisis Plakentias – Airport."

To help passengers navigate these changes, STASY (Athens Urban Transport Organization) has provided schedules for the last trains departing before the early closures. For instance, the last train from Syntagma towards the airport will depart at 9:30 PM, while the last train from the airport towards Dimotiko Theatro will leave at 9:10 PM. After 9:40 PM, trains to and from the airport will only operate between Ethniki Amyna station and the airport.

To bridge the gap created by the station closures between Evangelismos and Ethniki Amyna, OASA (Athens Urban Transport Organization) is introducing a temporary bus line, X21. This bus service will run from 9:40 PM until the end of service, connecting the Evangelismos metro station to the Ethniki Amyna metro station, with intermediate stops at the affected stations.
