Travel times and cost for Thessaloniki - Volos (Pelion)
The Question:
Dear Stavros
We are planning a holiday in Milina Pelion 26 May-5 June. As there are no more Volos flights from London UK we must choose between flying to Skiathos or Thessaloniki. Could you please advise us about travel times & prices from Thessaloniki airport by bus &/or train.I know that from Skiathos we can take a bus to the port & a taxi-boat to Platanias -probably easier but the flight to Skiathos is more expensive! Having all this information will help us decide.
Many thanks!
The Answer:
Hello there,
The part about Skiathos connection with Volos-Platanias is correct.
From what I have searched of Thessaloniki - Volos by KTEL bus lasts 2,5 hours and the ticket costs 16.60 Euros. The timetable for the time being is as per below:
07.00 , 09.00, 11.00, 13.00, 15.15, 17.00, 21.15, 23.00 h.
I advice you to cross - check it a few days before arrival for potential small changes (tel. 0030 2310 595408). From Volos there are frequent local busses towards Pelion area, so you won't have problems.
By train it is cheaper but you change trains at Larissa. The price is 7 E and the routes depart from Thessaloniki to Volos through Larissa at 12.42, 16.33 and 23.00. The trip lasts 3 hours and from Volos you get again the local busses. For OSE trains telephone centre just dial 1110.
Hope I helped you decide. Enjoy the beauty of Pelion!!!
