Sintrivani/Ekthesi station

Sintrivani/Ekthesi (Greek: Σιντριβάνι/Έκθεση, literally Fountain/Exposition)[2] is an under-construction metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It is expected to enter service in 2020.[1] The station is named after an Ottoman fountain, which marked the eastern entrance into the walled city before its expansion, and the Thessaloniki International Fair, whose grounds are immediately adjacent.

The fountain after which the station is named. It was gifted in 1889 by Sultan Abdulhamit II to the people of Thessaloniki, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. A Thessaloniki Metro construction information board is partly visible behind.
