The construction of the Athens Metro Base Project (ETHNIKI AMYNA-KERAMEIKOS & SEPOLIA-DAFNI) commenced in November 1992. The original plan was to construct a network approximately 20km long with 21 stations in 2 Lines. The first 13 km including 14 stations at SYNTAGMA - ETHNIKI AMYNA Line 3 Section and at SEPOLIA – SYNTAGMA Line 2 section were commissioned in January 2000, while 5 additional km with 5 stations at SYNTAGMA-DAFNI tunnel section were commissioned in November 2000. In the framework of the Base Project, the ATTIKO METRO S.A. has financed the execution of archaeological excavations extending over 69,000 square meters – the largest archaeological excavation program ever implemented in Athens. Moreover, in order to minimize the possibility of encountering antiquities, the Metro tunnels were constructed at a depth of 15 meters, a level, which is much lower than the one where antiquities are usually encountered.
The Project was constructed with the use of the most up-to-date technologies and was the outcome of the strenuous work of thousands of workers, scientists and technicians from Greece and abroad.
