Elliniko Metro (Greek: Ελληνικό Μετρό), formerly Attiko Metro (Αττικό Μετρό) until May 2023,[1] is a Greek State-owned company who is responsible for the development and construction of the Athens Metro and the Thessaloniki Metro, as well as the Athens Tram.
Headquartered in the Ellinoroson neighbourhood of the center of Athens, the Greek government created the company in July 1991: Elliniko Metro's original purpose was to oversee the delivery of the Base Project of the Athens Metro, which opened in three stages, in 2000 and 2003. Elliniko Metro also owned and operated the Athens Metro and Tram until June 2011, when STASY took over that role.
