The Anonymous Widower

The Athens Metro

The Athens Metro is fairly modern, as a lot of it was built for the 2004 Olympics. But beware, if you’re visiting the city in the next few months, that a large section of the original line 1 is being rebuilt. No-one seemed to know, when it would be fully reopened.

It is an efficient, if very busy system and you can buy a 24-hour ticket for just 4 euros.

I liked these seats I saw on one of the stations.

Seats on the Athens Metro

Quirky and easy to see.  But I don’t know what Health and Safety would say as they appear not to be fixed down.

They also indicate which way the escalators are going.  London Underground please note!
