Metro line to Aegaleo by April
Three new metro stations will be ready in April of next year as the underground railway will stretch out to Aegaleo in the western suburbs, Public Works and Environment Minister Giorgos Souflias said yesterday.
The 4.3-kilometer stretch will connect Monastiraki station in the city center with three new stops – Votanikos, Elaionas and Aegaleo.
The minister said that it will cater to 80,000 commuters daily.
The positioning of the Aegaleo station was changed after the discovery of archaeological artifacts that will be on display at the station, the minister said.
Residents of the western suburbs will be able to travel from Aegaleo to Syntagma in six minutes, according to official estimates.
In a further move to help ease Athens’s massive traffic problems, Souflias said that the metro will be further extended to Haidari by the end of 2008.
The companies that will build the leg linking Haidari with Piraeus will be chosen near the end of next summer.

So next April we will be able to go to Egaleo? haha, this is great.

BTW, the Egaleo station (Egaleo being a low-income neighbourhood) will have a very pioneering design with a glass pyramid and atrium underneath, and stuff like that

Very good news, I was afraid the works were stalled because of the austerity policies imposed by the minister of Economics but, at last, the extensions are being built. Good.
