25 Martiou (Greek: 25ης Μαρτίου, listenⓘ, lit. '25th March')[2] is a metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. The station takes its name from a nearby major road, which commemorates the traditional date of the start of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. It entered service in 2024.[3]

Travelling on Line 1 or Line 2 from New Railway Station, 25 Martiou is the last station at which the two lines share tunnels. From here, Line 1 continues east towards Nea Elvetia and Line 2 south towards Mikra.

This station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[4] In older iterations of the Thessaloniki Metro Lines Development Plan, the station is listed as Patrikiou, named after Minas Patrikios [el], a lawyer who in 1925 became the first elected Mayor of Thessaloniki.[5] Minas Patrikios Square is located 200 metres (220 yd) south of the station. In the 1988 proposal, Patrikiou and 25 Martiou are separate stations.[4]

Name

[edit]

When announcements are made in English on the onboard public address system, the station's name is given as just Martiou.[6]
