Ilioupoli, also known as Ilioupoli–Grigoris Lambrakis (Greek: Ηλιούπολη–Γρηγόρης Λαμπράκης), is an intermediate station on Athens Metro Line 2. It opened with the Elliniko extension on 26 July 2013.^[3] The station is adjacent to Vouliagmenis Avenue.

History[edit]

Ilioupoli originally opened without the Grigoris Lambrakis qualifier, but the Municipality of Ilioupoli had for years requested Attiko Metro (now Elliniko Metro) to name the station after the anti-war activist, who was also a member of the Greek resistance. Elliniko Metro agreed to change the station name to Ilioupoli-Grigoris Lambrakis, which came into effect on 22 May 2015.^[4]
