Kerameikos (Greek: Κεραμεικός) is a station on Athens Metro Line 3. It opened on 26 May 2007 as part of the Egaleo extension.[2]
History
[edit]Proposals for a metro station at Kerameikos started with the Second Smith Study of 1974, and was reaffirmed by the SOFRETU proposal of 1978.[3]: 21, 24 Kerameikos was originally part of the original "Olympic Metro" scheme of the Athens Metro, and the station was supposed to be located south-west of the junction with Iera Odos and Peiraios Street. However, construction on the station stopped in 1998, due to an archaeological dispute.[4] Construction of Kerameikos resumed at a new location in Gazi, and the original station box became an underground car park.[3]: 3
