Agios Konstantinos from Patras

The Question:


Halo,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply. I have a doubt, can i take a KTEL Busfrom Patras to Agios Konstantinos and then take a ferry to Skiathos. Is this better or your previous option of going to Volos From Patras is better. By seeing the Map it seemed that Agios Konstantinos is closer to Patras.The second question is i have checked cheap Air fares from SKIATHOS TO ATHENS is about 50 Euros, Do you suggest me to take a Flight from Skiathos to Athens by Air OR whether i should take a Land and Ferry route, Ie, Skiathos to Agios Konstantinos by Ferry and KTEL Bus from Ag Konstantinos to Athens.
Thank you and awaiting for your reply.
Regards
Chittinani


The Answer:

Hello Chittinani,

Thank you for your kind words!

Agios Konstantinos is indeed closer to Patras that is Volos. But the thing is that there is not bus connection to Agios Konstantinos from Patras. You can only travel to Lamia, a town close to Agios Konstantinos.
As far as your second question is concerned, I cannot advice you, as the ferry pricetables have not been announced yet, so that to compare the costs. They are expected by the mid of March in http://www.fantasticgreece.com/.

I wish you a pleasant trip to Greece :)

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!
