Travelling on Line 1 or Line 2 from New Railway Station, 25 Martiou is the last station at which the two lines share tunnels. From here eastwards, Line 1 continues to Nea Elvetia and Line 2 to Mikra. This station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal. In older iterations of the Thessaloniki Metro Lines Development Plan, the station is listed as Patrikiou, named after Minas Patrikios, a lawyer who in 1925 became the first elected Mayor of Thessaloniki. In the 1988 proposal, Patrikiou and 25 Martiou are separate stations.
Name
When announcements are made in English on the onboard public address system, the station's name is given as just Martiou.
