Is it better to travel from Athens to Volos or from Thessaloniki?

The Question:

Hi Stavros,
Trying to get to Alonissos (no skiathos flights). We have a choice...
Fly to Athens (bus to Volos?) or Fly to Thessalonika. Which do you recommend?
cheers
Clive


The Answer:

Hello Clive!
The bus route from Athens to Volos will take you longer than the bus route from Thessaloniki to Volos. Moreover the bus station KTEL of Thessaloniki is far more easier to find and reach than the one on Athens. As a result, I would definitely propose to fly to Thessaloniki and from there head to Volos by bus or train.
