Location

Analipsi metro station (Greek: Ανάληψη, listenⓘ, lit. 'Ascension')[2] is a metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It is named after the Thessaloniki district of Analipsi, in which it is located. Construction of this station proved difficult due to the narrowness of Delphon Street, under which the station was to be built. For this reason, it was decided to construct it using the cut-and-cover method, leading to the closure of a 250m section of the street. It entered service in 2024.[3]

This station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[4]
