|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sepolia – Syntagma Opened 28 January 2000 with seven stations (Sepolia, Attiki, Larissa Station, Metaxourgeio, Omonia, Panepistimio, Syntagma). Greek Wikipedia dates the start of the original Athens Metro works, covering Lines 2 and 3, to November 1992, when the tunnel boring machines began excavating. No contract value for Line 2 alone was found, so none is recorded. Length measured from OpenStreetMap geometry. | Opened | 4 km |
