Thessaloniki Metro

PM visits Thessaloniki metro for train trial operation

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was a passenger in the first trial operation of the Thessaloniki metro on Thursday.

The project has been plagued by years of delays mainly caused by the two re-designings of the Venizelos and Agia Sofia stations and legal wrangling over the antiquities uncovered while digging. 

Antiquities being repositioned at Thessaloniki metro station

Antiquities found during the construction of the metro system in the northern port city of Thessaloniki are being put back into place following their controversial extraction for the needs of the much-delayed project about a year ago. Among these is part of the Decumanus Maximus, the central east-west avenue of late Roman/early Byzantine Thessaloniki.
