It serves Ermou Street, a pedestrian street full of commercial activity and one of the priciest shopping areas in Europe. The station serves the Houses of Parliament and various government agencies, foreign embassies and the National Garden. Several of the architecture works were erected by Thodoros Papadimitriou, a famous sculptor and the station also includes a large archeological exhibition.
