The Athens Metro is the underground public transport system of Athens, Greece, constructed by the Attiko Metro company (Αττικό Μετρό, literally 'Attican metro') and the ISAP (Ilektrikoi Sidirodromoi Athinon-Pireos) company (Ηλεκτρικοί Σιδηρόδρομοι Αθηνών-Πειραιώς "Athens - Piraeus Electric Railways"). The Athens Metro is one of the most impressive underground Mass Transit systems in the world because of the many ancient buildings, ruins and artifacts discovered during the excavation works for several downtown stations. Most were carefully restored and are displayed within the stations, making the Metro system an everyday museum tour on the long and illustrious archaeological and historical past of the city.
