Eirini or Irini station (Greek: Σταθμός Ειρήνης Stathmos Eirinis) is an ISAP metro station in Ano Maroussi, Greece several kilometres north of Athens and is next to the Olympic Complex. It is marked at the 20.850 km from the starting point in Piraeus. The station is named after the Greek word for peace (ειρήνη) in which it is the pure symbol of sports and world peace. In the same spot, the present ISAP station was opened in March 4, 1957 and uses the same name. The station was first opened in September 3, 1982 and was renovated in 2004. It features two platforms, two in the island form and three stationed lines. During off-peak hours, it serves direct routes between Eirini and Piraeus stations and Eirini and Tavros statios.
