History

edit

The first proposals for a station were made in 1925, when engineer Alexander Verdelis demarcated the Harokopou station at almost the same location as part of his proposal to build a wider subway network for the capital.[3] Construction of the plant began in 1988, and opened on 6 February 1989[4] at a cost of 200 million drachmas. The station was renovated in 2004 in the run-up to the Summer Olympics that year.
