Sintrivani metro station (Greek: Σιντριβάνι, ⓘ, lit. 'Fountain')[2] is a metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It entered service in 2024.[3] The station is named after an Ottoman fountain, which marked the eastern entrance into the walled city before its expansion. In addition, the western side of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki campus and the grounds of the Thessaloniki International Fair are immediately adjacent to it.
History
The station appeared in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[4] In previous iterations of the Thessaloniki Metro Development Plan, the station was shown with the alternative spelling Syntrivani (Greek: Συντριβάνι).[5]
During construction, the station was known as Sintrivani/Ekthesi (Greek: Σιντριβάνι/Έκθεση, lit. 'Fountain/Exposition'), with the latter being in reference to the Thessaloniki International Fair.[6]
