Thessaloniki Metro
The Thessaloniki Metro consists of a two-line, twin tunnel system composed of Line 1 (Red Line) and Line 2 (Blue Line). Construction began in 2006 and the project was completed in November, 2024. Both lines are designed to serve a minimum of 18,000 passengers per hour in each direction with a 90-second headway.
Lines and stations
Line 1 is 9.5 km (5.9 mi) long and connects the New Railway Station (Thessaloniki’s main railway station) with Nea Elvetia. There are 13 modern stations designed with platform screen doors for maximum protection. Line 1 has the following stations: New Railway Station, Dimokratias, Venizelou, Agia Sofia, Sintrivani, Panepistimio (University), Papafi, Efklidi, Fleming, Analipsi, 25 Martiou, Voulgari, Nea Elvetia.
From Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the Thessaloniki Metro begins passenger service on its new extension to Kalamaria, adding five new stations: Nomarchia, Kalamaria, Aretsou, Nea Krini, and Mikra.
The new extension is expected to serve approximately 65,000 passengers per day, making it easier to travel between central Thessaloniki and the eastern suburbs of the city. Further extensions are planned, along with the construction of an additional metro line..
Parking
As part of the initial design, 3,700 parking spaces were created – 1,050 spaces at New Railway Station, 650 spaces in Nea Elvetia, and further 2,000 at Penepistimio (University).
Ticket Fares
Thessaloniki Metro utilizes an electronic card ticketing system as well as fare gates. A typical ticket costs €0.90, but the cost has been reduced to €0.60 for the first six months of the system operations. A monthly ticket costs €16.
