From Thessaloniki to Alonissos by train or bus

The Question:

I need to know what is the best way to Alonissos from Thessaloniki. In particular I\'ll arrive on 3rd August (sunday) at Thessaloniki airport and I dont\' know where is and how far is the bus station to Volos. May be it is better to take train to Volos, what do you think about? Could you give me telephone number to ask for timetable (bus and train) and prices?
Thank you very much for helping me!

The Answer:

Hello!
So I hope I can help you...As soon as you arrive at the airport of Thessaloniki, you can take the regional bus number 78 which will take you straight to the suburban bus station KTEL of Thessaloniki. From the KTEL station of Thessaloniki, buses depart every 2 hours to Volos and the route is approximately 2.5 hours. In case you want to learn more, the phone number is 0030 2310 500111. Otherwise, you can take the train from Thessaloniki (OSE is the name of the train company) and in 2h and 40 minutes you will have reached Volos. The train station is in the city center of Thessaloniki and the phone number is 0030 2310 517517.
