The station name is derived from Syngrou Avenue, where it is located, and the former Fix brewery, which was on the road near the station site.[3]
The station is part of the original Athens Metro project that was funded in 1991. During the first stages of construction it was named Neos Kosmos (the subsequent Neos Kosmos station was then named Analatos). The station opened on 15 November 2000 along with the Syntagma-Dafni extension, 10 months after the first section of the system had opened.
There are two entrances. One is located in Drakou street, a pedestrian road in Koukaki. The other is located within the 1996 Olympic Winners' Park between Sygrou Ave. and Kallirrois street. The second entrance is near the tram stop.
The tram stop is simply known as Fix (Greek: Φίξ), and is located on the northeastern side of the road junction with Kallirois Avenue and Irakleous Street. Since 6 December 2021, Fix serves Line 6 of the Athens Tram.
Fix opened on 19 July 2004, as part of the initial network for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens:[4][5] the tram stop (along with Syntagma, Zappio and Leoforos Vouliagmenis) was closed from 19 October 2018 to 20 November 2020, due to concerns over subsidence in the underground riverbed of the Ilisos.[6][7][8]
