Distance between Istanbul to Igoumenitsa

The Question:

I would like to learn the poad Distance between Istanbul to Igoumenitsa??


The Aswer:

Hello,

The completion of the Egnatia Odos highway, linking Igoumenitsa with İstanbul, will allow you to travel from the one point to another in 15 hours (if you plan 2-3 short stops). At viamichelin.com you can find the exact route with all the points of interest you have to pay attention to. The total distance Istanbul-Igoumenitsa is 1029 km.
If you don't have your own car, you can take the bus from Istanbul towards Thessaloniki that leaves once a day from Büyük Otogar. Then you simply change bus to Igoumenitsa. It is being realized one route per day departing at 13.00, so you should plan arriving from Istanbul ontime. The total ticket cost for this schedule is about 80 euros.

Enjoy your tip!

From Evzoni to Igoumenitsa by Car

The Question:

Which way to chose from Evzoni to Igoumenitsa:
1. Evzoni (E75) (FYROM border) - Katerini - Larisa (E92) - Trikala - Kalampaka - Metsovo - Ioannina - Anatoli - Paramythia (E90) - Igoumenitsa
or
2. Evzoni (E75) - Chalastra (E90) - Ellisporitos - Kozani (E90) - Siatista - road to Kalampaka - Malakasio (E92) - Ioannina - then same to Igoumenitsa.
Whic one is better? Which one is shorter and how many km?
What is your suggestion?
thanks a lot!


The Answer:

Hello there!
I would recommend the second route, although the ideal option would be for you to start from Evzoni continue through E75 heading to Thessaloniki, then exit to Katerini, enter the E90 motorway, Egnatia Odos, pass by Grevena and Votonosi and finally take the exit to Igoumenitsa.
The distance is 395km from which 223km are on motorways and it will take you approximately 5 hours to reach your destination.
Hope I helped!
