Driving Athens-Ptolemaida

The Question:

Stavros,
How would you recommend three of us got from Athens to Ptolemaida and back? We have three days total.
Thank you.
George


The Answer:

Hello again George,

you can plan your own route from ViaMichelin site. It is rather detailed and you will get all the useful information. A good idea to stopover is Katerini. It is a beautiful city and you will have the chance to have a great walk there before you get to Ptolemaida!

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!
