Metro rail services to and from Athens International Airport have been restored, according to an announcement from the Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY).

Tram service in the section between Asklipio Voulas and Zefyros in southern Athens will resume on July 1 after four months, the Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY) said on Friday.  

The service had been suspended since March 10 due to construction work at the former airport at Elliniko to bring part of coastal Poseidonos Avenue underground.

Traffic regulations will come into force on Sunday on tram lines 6 and 7 to accommodate a cycling event and a street race. 

The Athens metro will operate from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. on May Day, due to the decision of transport workers to participate in a strike, its operator STASY has said.

Buses and the tram in the capital will begin servicing routes from 9 a.m. but will return to depots by 9 p.m.

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.

STASY, the company that operates the Athens metro and tram, plans to utilize the energy from the braking of trains on Metro Line 1 and its conversion from kinetic to electric.

The Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY) has launched a new app on its website (stasy.gr) where passengers with mobility disabilities and disabled people in general are informed in real time about failures of elevators at stations. The application is accessible from all mobile devices.
