Description


The line runs to the east crossing within the ancient road linking Piraeus and Athens, it later forms a curve on a line of a historic road linking to Athens and later runs underground and after, runs underneath Athinas Avenue and intersect the first time at the Omonoia station. Before Omonoia, at Monastiraki, it intersects with Line 3. The line forms a left curve and intersects near the Patissia station and at the Victoria station and near Larissa, intersects with the Red Line (Line 2), the line runs later to the northeast and out of the tunnel. The tracks are outside again, and passes through Nea Ionia and under several underpasses, it makes a right curve near Heraklio and a left curve between Eirini and Nerantziotissa which intersects with the new Proastiakos line, and finally ends with a station west of Kifissia.
Several movies and television shows were shot at different locations of the line. One of the shots were in the show ''Konstantinou & Elenis'' where one of the suitcase filled with money fell from the overpass by a person (Haris Romas) and dropped it close to the ISAP line and lost all of his money. The people came trying to give their money back but it became lost.
