Location

The station is adjacent to Vouliagmenis Avenue, at its section north of the closed Ellinikon International Airport. It has two exits to the ground level, one on each side of Vouliagmenis Avenue, with the southern exit to have a metallic oval shaped roof, as well as a square.

Construction

Construction works of the station started in 2007. While initially being planned to be delivered by 2009, and later 2010, it was finally inaugurated in July 2013, after three and a half years of delays because of the Siemens Greek bribery scandal.

Bus connections

Several bus lines of Athens Mass Transit System operate from the station, so as to provide connections with Athens International Airport and several southern suburbs of Athens.

gollark: Brute-force SHA256 hashes of them or something?
gollark: What do you mean "crack passwords"?
gollark: FORTRAN is apparently quite widely used in high performance computing, and there are recent standard versions.
gollark: It does not look fine. Two consecutive lines are differently indented, there's an async IIFE there with one line in it, and it's generally weird and inconsistent.
