Syntagma metro station will be closed on Sunday, March 24, and Monday, March 25, from 8 a.m. until the parades marking Greece's Independence Day have been completed.

Transport operator STASY said trains will pass through Syntagma station without stopping.

Iraklio station on the Athens metro will close early Wednesday afternoon, following an order from the police who fear that it could become the scene of violence as neo-Nazis plan to gather nearby for a commemoration.

A station manager of the Athens metro was beaten up by two men who refused to wear their mask on the train, the public company responsible for managing the metro, tram and electric railway, Urban Rail Transport (STASY), said on Wednesday.

Lines 2 and 3 of the Athens metro will increase the frequency of service as of Tuesday, following a rise in commuter traffic since lockdown measures started being eased last month.
