Kalochori-Panteichi (Greek: Καλοχώρι-Παντείχι) is a halt, in Euboea, Greece. The station serves the village of Kalochori-Panteichi. It is owned by OSE, but service are provided by Hellenic Train, through the Athens Suburban Railway from Athens to Chalcis.[5]
History
The station opened on 6 April 2005 as an unstaffed intermediate station on the Athens to Chalcis service of the Athens Suburban Railway. That same year TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2008, all Athens Suburban Railway services were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE.
In August 2025, the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport confirmed the creation of a new body, Greek Railways (Greek: Σιδηρόδρομοι Ελλάδος, romanized: Ellinikí Sidiródromi Monoprósopi)[6] to assume responsibility for rail infrastructure, planning, modernisation projects, and rolling stock across Greece. Previously, these functions were divided among several state-owned entities: OSE, which managed infrastructure; ERGOSÉ, responsible for modernisation projects; and GAIAOSÉ, which owned stations, buildings, and rolling stock. OSE had overseen both infrastructure and operations until its vertical separation in 2005.[7] Rail safety has been identified as a key priority.[8] The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the Tempi accident of February 2023, in which 43 people died after a head-on collision.[9]

The station is an unstaffed halt, with few facilities, aside from two small shelters with seating. There is no cafe or shop on-site.
