The Answer:

Hi!

Yes Milina is a small village one hour outside Volos. From Athens you can take the KTEL bus towards Volos and from there the local bus to Milina village. There are 2 routes departing at 9 am and 11 am. In 4 hours you will be in Volos and from there the local bus towards Milina departs at 16.30.The total cost for all that won't be more than 35 euros per person.
If you want to hire a car then you can check prices at the respective category of www.fantasticgreece.com by clicking here.

travel from Corfu to Volos

The Question:

Kalimera Stavros
Is it possible to travel from Corfu to Volos by bus in May - how long would this take and is it the cheapest option?
EfharistoDerek


The Answer:

Kalimera Derek,

From Corfu there is a bus going to Larissa, which is close to Volos. Volos is being connected with Larissa with local buses and train every 30-45 minutes. The bus Corfu-Larissa departs at 8 am every Tuesday and Friday and you will reach Larissa at 16.00. Ticket costs 41 E and in this price the ferry boat ticket is included. Larissa-Volos route is quite cheap (around 6 euros by KTEL bus and 2,5 by OSE train) and the trip lasts 1 hour. You can call at the station (0030 26610 28928) to find out more.

Always glad to help you!

Thessaloniki-Kilkis roundtrip by bus or train

The Question:

Hi Stavros,
I want to know the bus timetable from Thessa to Kilkis in the morning between 06.00 and 08.00 and from Kilkis and Thessa after 16.00 til midnight. If it is possible to give me info about train timetable for the same direction and the same hours. From where I can get the bus/train to Kilkis and which are the nearest hostels/hotels to this bus/train stations?
thanks a lot in advance!!
Ivo


The Answer:

Hello there!

By Thessa I assume you mean Thessaloniki. There are KTEL buses at 06:00, 06:30 and 07:15 am from Thessaloniki heading to Kilkis. For your way back, there are routes at 16:00, 16:45, 17:45, 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00. Ticket both ways will cost you about 8-9 euros. Call at the KTEL station to find out more about the address on 0030 2310 595408.
By OSE trains it will cost you less, about half the price. The respective routes are at 06:05 and 07:20 am from Thessaloniki and at 17:10, 20:55 and 22:40 from Kilkis. Automized call center of OSE can be reached by calling at 1110. It is really helpful!
The trip lasts about 30 minutes.
About the hotels I cannot propose you some, but I am sure you will have no problems finding one near the station each way you select (by KTEL bus or OSE train). They are both located in the centre of the town.

Always happy to help you :)

Igoumenitsa-Ioannina-Thessaloniki

The Question:

Dear Stavros
Thank you for answering my question, but it leads to another. If the only bus from Igoumentisa to Thessaloniki leaves at 10:30am, I will not be able to connect with it from the ferry from Corfu that arrives at 12:25pm. Is it possible to make a connection by going from Igoumentisa to Ioannina by bus? I understand Ioannina had (old schedule) buses for Thessaloniki that left at 15:00 and 1900 and 2230 hrs. -- the last would arrive too late for me to use a hotel for that night.
Thank you for helping me with information I cannot get elsewhere.
Robert Brand


The Answer:

Hello again Robert,

Thanks for the support!

Well you can take the bus from Igoumenitsa towards Ioannina for the first part of your trip and then to continue with a second bus to reach Thessaloniki finally. Igoumenitsa-Ioannina lasts only 90 minutes and there are these routes at 14.30 and 16.45 that are convenient for your arrival from Corfu. From Ioannina station there is another route at 18.30 heading to Thessaloniki so you will just have to change busses! Ioannina's station tel. number is 0030 26510-26286 if you want to call and double check it.

Always glad to help! Cheers!
