Doukissis Plakentias is an Athens Metro Blue Line station situated in Chalandri near Doukissis Plakentias Avenue, Athens, Greece. It was named after the Duchess of Plaisance, a philhellene, who owned much of the land in the part of Athens where the station now stands. The station is located near Attiki Odos and serves as a connection point to the Athens Suburban Railway (Proastiakos Sidirodromos).
The station is located within the administrative boundaries of the municipality of Halandri near the Patima settlement. It offers passengers interchange ability between the Athens Metro and Proastiakos stations. The bus station OASA allows access to the northeast suburbs of Athens, northern Mesoghaia and East Attica. It is also the junction of Attiki Odos highway and Imittos Ring. The addition becomes accessible during weekdays from the Municipal Transportation of Halandri (daytime) and from the Vrilissia Municipal Transportation. The Municipal Transportation of Penteli has cancelled access. Private car parking, taxi and local transit bus services are also available.
The Metro connection with the Proastiakos has been running since July 30, 2004. From July 28-July 30 2004 all trains had used the station as a terminal.
In the original plans the construction of Metro Line 3 and during most of the construction, Doukissis Plakentias station was called "Stavros", while the station now known as Chalandri station was called Doukissis Plakentias. The stations were renamed to their current names during the construction of the Ethniki Amyna - Doukissis Plakentias route. Since Chalandri station is nearest the center of Halandri and Doukissis Plakentias is located on the border of three municipalities en route to the tower in Penteli, the names were changed.
