Platanos railway station or Platanos Beach (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Πλάτανος, romanizedSidirodromikós Stathmós Platanos) is a Station[3] in Paralia Platanou, a small village in Achaea, Greece. It is located just North of the village, close to the Olympia Odos motorway. It was opened on 22 June 2020 as part of the €848-million ErgOSE[3] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio rail line, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4][5] The station is served by Hellenic Train local services between Kiato and Aigio.[6] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located northeast of the current station, closer to the coast of the Corinthian Gulf
