Sintrivani/Ekthesi (Greek: Σιντριβάνι/Έκθεση, literally Fountain/Exposition)[1] is an under-construction metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It is expected to enter service in 2023[2] The station is named after an Ottoman fountain, which marked the eastern entrance into the walled city before its expansion, and the Thessaloniki International Fair, whose grounds are immediately adjacent.

Once it opens in 2020, it will function as the terminus of both lines 1 and 2 until the section between N. Sid. Stathmos and Aghia Sofia opens in 2021.[3]
The station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[4] In previous iterations of the Thessaloniki Metro Development Plan, the station is shown with the alternative spelling Syntrivani (Greek: Συντριβάνι).[5]
