Zappio (Template:Lang-el) is a pair of tram stops in Central Athens. The southbound stop is located on Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, in front of the Zappeion, and the northbound stop is located on the southern end of the road junction with Vasilissis Olgas Avenue and Ardittou Avenue. Both stops are within walking distance of both the Zappeion and the Panathenaic Stadium.
History
According to Gabor Sandi, the original Athens Tram network used to pass through the site of the current Pikrodafni-bound tram stop: the line turned east from Syntagma Square and proceeded through Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, before turning north-east into Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue and towards Pangrati.
In 1937, Lines 3, 5 and 12 used the Pangrati line: Lines 3 and 5 ran westbound only, towards Ano Patisia and Larissa Station respectively, via Syntagma; Line 12 ran eastbound only. By November 1953, when the Pangrati line was dismantled, Line 2/12 passed through Vasilissis Olgas Avenue.
The current Zappio tram stop opened on 19 July 2004, as part of the initial network for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. The tram stop (along with Syntagma, Leoforos Vouliagmenis and Fix) was closed from 19 October 2018 to 20 November 2020, due to concerns over subsidence in the underground riverbed of the Ilisos.
Services
Since 6 December 2021, the Zappeion tram stop serves Line 6 of the Athens Tram: trams heading towards Pikrodafni use the stop at Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, while trams heading towards Syntagma use the stop at Ardittou Avenue. The tram stop previously served Lines 4 and 5.
