Panepistimio (Greek: Πανεπιστήμιο) is a station on Athens Metro Line 2. It opened on 28 January 2000,[2] and is adjacent to the National Library of Greece, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Academy of Athens. "Panepistimio" means "university" in Greek.
History[edit]
The earliest proposal for a metro station at Panepistimio was by Alexandros Verdelis of the Greek Engineers Association in 1925, where it was known as Theatrou (Greek: Θεάτρου. Subsequent proposals included the station under various names, such as Akadimia (Ακαδημία).[3]: 16–24
Future[edit]
When Line 4 of Athens Metro is completed, the station will have an underpass connection with "Akademia" Station.[4]
