Athens-Thessaloniki-Igoumenitsa connections

The Question:

Hi Stavros! I would like to fly to Athens, then get the train from Athens to Thessaloniki (which I heard is beautiful), then get a train from Thessaloniki to Igoumenitsa. Is this possible?
Thanks very much, Stuart.


The Answer:

Hi Stuart,

yes, Thessaloniki is beautiful! The train towards Thessaloniki from Athens departs at 06:50, 09:20, 10.50, 14:50, 19:25 and more. Call at 1110, it is the call centre of OSE trains and will help you the most! Ask to know which route is express as some of them reach Thessaloniki in 4,5 hours and others in 6 hours.
From Thessaloniki there is no train connection to Igoumentisa but you can take the KTEL bus at 13.00 every day. The trip lasts 5,5 hours and you can find out more by calling at 0030 2310 595408.

Hope this has been helpful to you!
