As a university student I find myself most of the days in line 3. It is really fun to ride the metro and now with the upcoming line 4 transportation will be even easier.
Thank you once again for the ticket - I really made the most of it, as you say! I love metro systems, whether they are overland or underground, and Athens is no exception :)
39:17, well I guess you answered your question there; Greeks generally avoid walking out in the afternoon sun. I bet if you were there a few hours later in the evening, Nikea would look a decent amount busier.
Eliniko was the previous airport but now its a wasteland, the last year though they created this beautiful park and they want to build casinos hotels and to fix up the marina, also they want to extend the line to glyphada and connected to the tram lines, very expensive area but very beautiful too
Fun fact: ticket checks in most places are very rare, so riding is effecitively free. in the metro you can sneak when another person taps while in the other means there aren't any ticket gates or they are always open. Ticket checks happen more often on the metro and on busier metro stations, and in flooded stations it may be easy to pass the gates. Try avoiding Monastiraki or Omonoia stations unless you only change lines (so you needn't pass through gates) and on Athens station go through the back entrance as there is a lot of staff in the front entrance and i cannot gurantee that no one will check.
Though it is very unethical as it is operated by a company so when not paying you are indirectly stealing money from the staffs salary and anyways it's not that expensive if you don't want to use it you can walk or use a car or something no one forces you to do so.
I was the ONLY housed rider never stretching any splash guard across my jaw .. no matter when, the ratio was I'm-still-It .. I even got assaulted simultaneously by 2 parties for not letting big business meddle with my relation with the divine..!
from my experience it's awesome the routes are frequent there is no delay even if you miss it you won't wait more than 5 minutes most time the train arrives instantly the trains are old but they are very well maintained the stations are beautiful and it gets you to places much faster than road

Are you greek because i am and i also live near the metro so yea its a good way of transportation
Same cloth on the seats as the London tube. Thanks for this. Exactly what I needed to see for my first trip to Athens!
1:19 when the train was at high speed coming into the station it sounded like the 2009 stock motors on london underground
my beautiful city
That was a well spent ticket ;) . Good idea of you to go to the end of metro lines. Thanks for showing me the things I missed

@@CloselyObservedWorld Did you got to explore all of the metro station at Syntagma square? Did you see the antiquities excavated there?

wondering how the windows get to seldom appearing fouled by grafitti
I miss curvy underground stations; our straight ones holler for lack of character or uniqueness even
aha! so reintroducing the line numbers hereabouts must be a manœuvre of cleptoparasitic Corporateria's
What did you think of the metro network? Was it good, modern, with frequent headways etc?

I thought syntagma is the last station
It used to be.
If you're talking about Metro Transport, yes. Otherwise the line is longer.
when i was five i thought so too 😂
It’s actually spelled el-li-ni-kò
Didn't know Athens had infrastructure!
We don't have. We are savages living on trees. What an asholle
Wtf mate since 1869 Athens has metro infrastructure.
what the fuck...
@@Gk-ug6gu what? You are not serious. It had tram not metro.
Roblox?
