Route from Thessaloniki airport to Volos

The Question:

Can you give me a route from Thessaloniki airport to Volos?


The Answer:

Hello hello!

From Thessaloniki airport until Volos the distance is 210 km. The driving will take you 2,5 hours.
The recommended route for you to follow is to take the highway E90 Thessalonikis-Malgaron, following the exits towards Athens. You will soon (8-10 minutes later) be at E75 / 1 which you have to take. You will pay the tolls at that point and continue following the exits to Volos/Valestino. This is the bigger part which lasts 2 hours. Finally, continue along E92 / 6, pass by Nea Ionia and in 18-20 minutes you should be arriving in Volos.

Hope I have helped you.

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

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.
