Great!

Also, wait a sec so the 3 lines you count are ΗΣΑΠ(green), red line and Pireaus-airport(blue line)

Does the περιφερειακός also count or nah?

Also nommed to pray get a Greco-centric quiz featured!

I don't know too much about athens so maybe I'm mistaken but I've always know there to be 3 lines, and I see now that a 4th is under construction, still that's just 3. Maybe I'm mistaken somewhere?

Actually no you are right. It is 3 lines, according to the wiki itself, so περιφερειακός is excluded. I just happen to know about Athenian trains, but not so thoroughly it turns out

Knew it was in Piraeus, didn't know that wasn't considered Athens and had no idea on Atromitos so I have missed the question on the one topic I should know lol, 3/10 including a complete guess on the runner. Maybe you want to keep it hard but surely there are easier Athens questions to ask haha

I actually thought I was making it too easy at the start so decided it would make sense to add some harder ones but I guess I forgot to add some simpler ones.

2 and 8 were borderline impossible to be honest. Rest were easy, at least for knowledgeable greeks...

Also yes, Atromitos is located in Peristeri, west athens

1,3,6,7,9 and 10 should be pretty simple for Greeks

Yes it's kinda hard for others but it's not like you are meant to beat these 1st try anyway

Can't make it too easy

Nice quiz! You should probably change the last question though. People don't really think of Piraeus as a separate city, and besides, out of the four teams, only Panathinaikos' stadium is in the municipality of Athens, if you really want to go by that definition.

But, surely, nobody considers PAOK to be anywhere near Athens, so, if you know that club, the answer is obvious - no?

2/10. A trained monkey should get 2.5 on average.

To be fair, that Venetian mortar round only really blew up the Parthenon because the Ottomans were using it to store gunpowder - so, the destruction of a monument that had up to that point withstood two millenia was really a group effort!
