History

The Station opened on 8 March 1904, under the name Malakasa station, the date of its re-branding remains unknown. In 1983 the station was rebuilt, reaping on 27 October of that year.

Facilities

The station has sheltered seating on both platforms. Access to 1 and 2 is from a footbridge or lift.

Due to state funding issues,[5] the ticket office has since closed. The Station (as of 2019) is now unstaffed, however CCTV is present.

The station is served by Proastiakos, with frequent services to Athens, Oinoi and Chalcis.[4]

According to the album "From the crowds in the metro", in the late 1960s, the former SEKs have been studying the connection of the Sfendalis station with Oropos.
