Vasilikí Odós Station, (Willinkian: Βασιλική Οδός Σταθμός, lit. Royal Way Station) is a rapid transit station located southeast of the city center of Salonika, Willink. Noted for its ornate art deco and neo-byzantine terminal, as well as its vast incorporation of wrought iron, Vasilikí Odós first opened in 1927 and quickly became an important landmark in the geography of the city. With 32 tracks, combining both above-ground rail and subway connections, it constitutes the largest rail hub within the physical city center of Salonika, contending with over one million passengers on a daily basis.
