Line 4 had been under consideration for many years. Its exact route was changed multiple times. One of the most famous routes was the U-shaped line from Perissos to Katechaki (which are current stations of lines 1 and 3 respectively), including a branch to Vyronas. However, the route from Alsos Veikou to Goudi was chosen, as it has the benefit of being the one passing from the densely populated areas of central Athens, such as Galatsi, Exarheia, Kolonaki, Kaisariani and Zografou.

In the distant future, it will be extended further north to Ethniki Odos and to other important suburbs of Athens, like Marousi.
