From Istanbul to Nea Vrasna by Bus

The Question:

Hi Stavros!
Could you please tell me how to get from Istanbul to Nea Vrasna? I searched in the Internet but I can find bus only from Istanbul to Kavala/ Thessaloniki. Does the bus to Thessaloniki stop in Nea Vrasna (I looked the map and I guess it\'s on the way to Thessaloniki).
Thanks so much!


The Answer:

Hello!
The bus from Istanbul to Thessaloniki makes no stop at Nea Vrasna, because it is actually a small village and it will take the bus out of its route. As a result you need to reach Thessaloniki first and then take another bus to Nea Vrasna from there. This is the only option that you have actually so as to reach your destination.
Hope this helps!

From Afissos to Volos and Thessaloniki by Bus

The Question:

We need to get from Afissos to Volos and then on to Thessaloniki airport on Friday 3rd October for a flight at aproximately 2pm. Can you advise if we can get a bus from Afissos to Volos and then on to Thessaloniki airport and if so, any idea of times and cost?
Thank you


The Answer:

Hello!
In order to reach Volos from Afissos, you can use the suburban bus KTEL. The first departure of the date that also suits your case is at 07.00 and the route to Volos is about 50 minutes. From Volos you can catch the 08.00 bus to Thessaloniki, and within 3 hours you will have arrived at your destination. From there you can either pick a taxi or take the city bus to the airport (distnace of 45 minutes) and you will have arrived in time for your flight at the Thessaloniki International airport.
Information regarding costs is actually not available online, and since it is subject to change at any time, it is better to contact the bus company KTEL so as to get informed.
Suburabn Bus KTEL in Volos: +30 24210 33254.
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
Clive


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.
