Peloponnisou Railway Station

Peloponnisou Railway Station has the style of other similar stations of the time, like in Moscow and Istanbul.

In 1890, traveler and philhellene Gaston Deschamps described the station as an "awful building on a vast plot of land." His disappointment was enormous because he saw nothing of Pericles' Athens, as he expected, but a deserted land with huts and poorly dressed people. He later found out that the Athenians had demanded the building of the stations as far away from the city as possible, so as not to come into contact with people from lower classes.
