Paiania–Kantza station is located north east of the town of Paiania in East Attica. This station first opened to Proastiakos trains on 30 July 2004, with Athens Metro services calling at this station from 10 July 2006.

The station’s platforms have two levels, with each end serving trains from either the Athens Metro or Proastiakos: Proastiakos Kiato-Airport line trains stop at the southern end while Athens Metro Line 3 trains stop at the northern end. As of 2013 the station is served by three Proastiakos trains per hour to the airport, two to Ano Liosia and one to Kiato.

Trivia

Although the station signs mention the name Paiania-Kantza, all trains' announcements call the station simply Kantza.
