History edit

Facilities edit

The stop is equipped solely with a stone-built waiting room on the single platform. There are however two automatic level-crossings on either side of the station, installed by Bombardier. There is also a small restaurant across the road from the stop. The unstaffed halt has however been the victim of graffiti and vandalism but has since been repaired.

Services edit

As of 2020 the stop is served by one train per day, to/from Alexandroupoli and Thessaloniki.[3]
