Line 1 is the oldest of the three Athens Metro lines, running from Template:OASA Metro stations to Template:OASA Metro stations, via Template:OASA Metro stations and Template:OASA Metro stations. The Athens & Piraeus Railway Company first opened the line, between Piraeus and Template:OASA Metro stations, on 27 January 1869, but it did not merge into the Athens Metro network until 10 June 2011.

Line 1 connects the port of Piraeus with the northern suburb of Kifissia. As it was originally designed for steam traction, the line runs mostly above ground. However, there are no level crossings. It is built to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge and is electrified using the 750 V DC (originally 600 V DC), third rail, top contact system, also used by Athens Metro Lines 2 and 3.
From Piraeus the line runs eastwards to Neo Faliro and then north to Thision, approximately parallel to the main road connecting Athens and Piraeus. Between Monastiraki and Attiki the line runs underground. At Monastiraki passengers can change to Metro line 3 and at Omonoia and Attiki to Metro line 2. From Attiki the line continues north, following the alignment of the old "Attica Railways" through Patissia, the suburbs of Nea Ionia, Irakleio, Marousi and terminates at Kifissia. At Nerantziotissa passengers can change to the suburban line serving Athens International Airport.
Line 1 has a (rarely used) physical connection to Line 2 at Attiki station.

Proposed extensions and stations
Northern Extension to Agios Stefanos
Since 2008, ISAP S.A., and subsequently STASY S.A., proposed a two-phase northern extension of Line 1 from Template:OASA Metro stations to Template:OASA Metro stations, via Template:OASA Metro stations near Ekali, bringing the Dionysos municipality into the Athens Metro catchment area.
The first phase includes new stations at Template:OASA Metro stations, Template:OASA Metro stations, Template:OASA Metro stations and Ethniki Odos, but requires the reconstruction of Kifisia into an underground station. The second phase would be mostly sub-surface, with new stations at Template:OASA Metro stations and Agios Stefanos.[2]
The project was dropped by the company late in 2011 due to lack of funding and incomplete feasibility data.
Western Extension to Amfiali
In 2012, Attiko Metro S.A. included the western extension from Piraeus to Amfiali in the Athens Regulatory Plan.
Kaminia metro station
In 2012, Attiko Metro S.A. included Kaminia metro station in the Athens Regulatory Plan. The new station will be sited near Kerani Square, between Piraeus and Neo Faliro.[3]
Psalidi metro station
In 2012, Attiko Metro S.A. included Psalidi metro station in the Athens Regulatory Plan. The new station will be sited between Iraklio and Eirini.
