Ambelokipi metro station

Ampelokipi Station (Greek: Αμπελόκηποι, Ampelokipoi) is a station of the Athens Metro, on line 3. It is located in Athens and took its name from the Athenian district of Ampelokipoi, which it serves. It was inaugurated on 28 January 2000. It is underground and has two side docks.

It is located under the junction of Alexandras Avenue and Dimitriou Soutsou Street, near the Attica General Police Directorate (GADA), the Hellenic Supreme Court and the Panathinaikos stadium.

On the roof of the station stretch colorful lines illuminated with neon lights, a work by Stephen Antonakos entitled Procession. The luminous visual lines that guide passengers in and out of the station refer to the ancient Athenian processions of citizens.

In 1979 the initial location of the station was made in Thon (Alexandras and Vasilissis Sofias, tram terminus of Ampelokipoi until 1953), but in 1991 it was determined in its current location.
