Efkleidis metro station (Greek: Ευκλείδης, ⓘ)[2] is a metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. The station is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid and the neighbouring technical school of the same name, which currently houses the Thessaloniki department of ASPETE. It entered service in 2024.[3]
Efklidis also appeared in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal, under the name Archaeological Museum.[4] Until 1957, the stop "Paraskevopoulou" of the old Thessaloniki tram was located at the site.
