Top ways to experience Syntagma Station
The area
Address
Neighborhood: Syntagma
Perhaps the best place to get your bearings is Syntagma Square, crowned by the imposing Parliament building on its upper side and surrounded by other large structures, such as the exclusive Hotel Grande Bretagne. The grand avenues that lead towards Omonia are also full of massive Neoclassical edifices like the Numismatic Museum and those around smaller Platia Kolokotroni. Here you will find lots of travel agents, bookshops and fashion shops, especially on Ermou Street. Just south of Syntagma Square, you can take a breather in the lush National Gardens, which extend into the grounds of the Zappeio palace and beyond to the ancient Temple of Olympian Zeus.
How to get there
- Syntagma • 2 min walk

This is one of the largest metro stations in town and a place where one changes trains to another line. It is very open, extremely clean, modern, with good signs and easy to figure out. Busy.

This is not a review of the station but of the secure locker storage nearby; we left a cruise ship at 8 am and our flight was not until 11 pm. Just a few yards from Syntagma station is Syntagma Lockers where we left two large cases for 16 euros. It was very secure as we had our own key. A bonus point is that the airport bus left from just outside as well.

The station is below the park. Stop in and view the mini archeological museum which contains items found during the construction of the subway.
Good signage on the walls helps to understand the stratification over many centuries.

Located in central Athens, this landmark is easy to find particularly if you are embarking on a walking tour. The station is busy with commuters in the early morning and late afternoon. Just be wary of dodgy characters.
The best thing about the station are the archaeological displays on the upper level. These help to tell the story of Ancient Athens - interesting.

The Syntagma metro station is located on the square of the same name. This station is one of the busiest in Athens. It is clean, accessible and connects to the airport. The curious thing is that it has an archaeological exhibition. In a country where the underground is full of relics, excavations are difficult. A ticket for tourists valid for 3 days costs 22 euros, it's worth it.

I had heard for a long time about the "archeology museum" in the Athens subway station. I chose a Monday morning to walk up to the square and take a look. Surprisingly, the station was not too busy. The ladies in the booth directed me to the displays. It was well worth it to get another glimpse of the evidence of antiquity of this amazing city. The artifacts are shown beautifully, labeled well. I'm glad to have finally seen this hidden, underground "Museum."

It is the intersection point of all metro lines and the metro to the airport also passes here. A part of the entrance is prepared like a museum. A certain part of the wall of the metro station is already a historical monument, and this part has been beautifully preserved and exhibited. Old vases, water pipes, etc. are displayed beautifully here.

We used this Metro station several times and it functions well. The underground area is very large so it never felt crowded, even though lots of people pass through it. A couple of lines come together here, so lots of transfers.

The most crowded Metro station in Athens. It connects Tram and metro. Also, on the medium floor, it has exhibitions all the time!

My mother and i were travelling from Keramikos station on Saturday 6th February around 9-10pm, we were stopped at Syntagma station to take another route back to our hotel when we were stopped by two station attendees one greek short older lady in her 50's and a greek man in his 40's. We were questioned about our ticket since we didn't realise we had to validate it from Keramikos station. The lady was so rude and abusive to us and demaned that we pay 42 euros each or they would take our passports from us as we hadn't validated our tickets. We explained to them that we did not realise that we had to do this and this was simply a mistake. We were then told to go to a room behind the ticket desk and questioned further by two other greek guides who looked like the greek police. Both my mother and i were in total shock as we didn't realise that the greek authorites can be this rude and abusive towards coloured people. This older lady kept shouting remarks of how stupid we were not to have validated our tickets. I thought this was utterly disgusting since we did not do anything wrong. I was so upset by this and started crying but nothing was done. We had no choice but to pay the 42 euros then leave the station. I will never return to Athens again and would like to inform everyone that to be careful when travelling by metro or by taxi and to watch out for this kind of behavior from the greek authorities. I will be reporting this incident to my local MP.

Hi there,
Are there bag storage facilities at this station?
Thanks!
Written August 18, 2018
I didn't see any inside the station itself, but, a quick look online reveals there may still be a third party offering luggage storage "a few meters away" from Syntagma station.
