Line 2 of the Athens Metro runs entirely underground from Anthoupoli in the northwest to Elliniko in the south, via Syntagma. It first opened, between Sepolia and Syntagma, on 28 January 2000, with Line 3.

On 6 April 2013, Line 2 was extended to Anthoupoli in the north west,[1] and on 26 July 2013 to Elliniko to the south.[2]

There are no extensions currently under construction.

There is a planned extension from Anthoupoli towards Ano Liosia which would include three new stations:[3]

The planned extension from Elliniko on the other end of the line would end at Glyfada on the coast.
