From Athens to Ptolemaida

The Question:

How long would it take to drive a rental car from Athens to Ptolemaida (and return)?
Is it an easy drive or are the roads poor?

Thank you.
George


The Answer:

Hi George!

Well the distance between Athens - Ptolemaida is almost 510 km. To drive there by car will take you approximately 7 hours (per way).
Driving the specific roads connecting Athens with Ptolemaida is neither easy or difficult. Generally speaking, roads are fine. Watch out the other drivers though! Greeks are being considered to have a more aggresive driving behaviour from what you are used to!
As long as you stick to the signs and be careful you should have no problems, so don't worry at all.

Always glad to help!

Stavros,

I have to get to Ptolemaida AND Thessalonki from Athens (and return) this October.

Because of severe time limitations I will spend a day in each place. I will need to travel during the night.

Is there still a direct bus from Athens to Ptolemaida? What times does it leave Athens and from which bus station?

Another option may be the train from Athens to Thessaloniki and return. I could take the bus between Thessaloniki and Ptolemaida.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you.
