Line 2 of the Thessaloniki Metro, also known as the Kalamaria Extension (Greek: Επέκταση Καλαμαριάς), is a deep-level underground rapid transit line in Thessaloniki, Greece, connecting New Railway Station in the west with Mikra in the south-east. The section of the line between New Railway Station and 25 Martiou stations opened in 2024, with the rest of the line becoming operational in 2025.[1][2] This was eventually delayed to July 2026 after the inauguration of Line 1.[3] Of the line's 16 stations, 11 are also stops for Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1, as they will share tunnels.[4]

Construction costs for the line (between 25 Martiou and Mikra) are set at €570 million.[5]

Line 2 is to be extended further, with an eastern extension towards Thessaloniki Airport (4 stations) and an extension in the northern suburbs (6 stations).[6] The initial plan called for two extensions to the northwest to be separate lines. In 2018, they were merged into a single circular line [7], however by 2024 it was decided to develop the extensions separately, as part of the announcement of a new third line for the metro.[8]
