Athens commuters are advised that four metro stations will close earlier than usual this week due to extended maintenance work on Line 2. The temporary schedule affects the Neos Kosmos, Agios Ioannis, and Dafni stations, which will close at 21:40, approximately two and a half hours earlier than normal, on Monday and Tuesday.
The maintenance delays occurred on the Dafni–Neos Kosmos section of Line 2, prompting the Athens Urban Transport Organization (STASY) to extend the work by two days. While the closures impact these stations, metro services will continue to operate on unaffected sections, including Anthoupoli–Fix and Elliniko–Agios Dimitrios.
Passengers traveling through the closed stations can use the temporary circular bus route X13, which runs between Fix and Agios Dimitrios, stopping at Neos Kosmos, Agios Ioannis, and Dafni. The bus route departs from a specially designated area at the Fix station on Syngrou Avenue, next to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
For reference, the last metro departures before the early closures are scheduled as follows:
- From Syntagma to Elliniko: 21:40
- From Neos Kosmos to Elliniko: 21:44
- From Neos Kosmos to Anthoupoli: 21:51
- From Agios Ioannis to Elliniko: 21:45
- From Agios Ioannis to Anthoupoli: 21:50
- From Dafni to Elliniko: 21:47
- From Dafni to Anthoupoli: 21:48
STASY urges passengers to plan their journeys accordingly and to allow extra travel time while the temporary bus service is in operation. Regular metro schedules are expected to resume once the maintenance work is completed.
