Xylokastro railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Ξυλόκαστρο, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Xylokastro) is a station[3] in Xylokastro, a seaside town in Corinthia, Greece. It is located just south of Xylokastro, close to the Olimpia 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.
