Bus from Thessaloniki going to Bulgary

The Question:

Dear Sir,
Bus timetable please from Thessaloniki Bus station to Bansko ( near Razlog ) in Bulgaria on Friday 13th Feb at 2pm please.
Yours faithfully,
Tim


The Answer:

Hello Tim,

for the time being due to farmers' protest against government's regulations Promahonas area is blocked. So, this affects the scheduled route Thessaloniki-Sofia at 17.00 pm every day and cannot be realized. From KTEL bus station in Thessaloniki there are no other routes towards Bansko or Razlog. For more details call 0030 2310 595446. This is a question concerning destination outside Greece so I am not that expert.

Sorry not to be able to help you more.

Thessaloniki-Volos-Thessaloniki Ktel route

The Question:

Hi Stavros........
What is the cost of an adult return ticket from Thessaloniki airport to Volos and would we have to book in advance or buy the tickets on the day.
Regards
Chris Norman


The Answer:

Hello there,

I assume you mean KTEL bus ticket. Well, the price Thessaloniki-Volos-Thessaloniki is 29,50 E and there are routes from Thessaloniki on 09.00 - 11.00 - 13.00 - 15.15 - 17.00 - 19.15 - 21.15 - 23.00. You don't have to book in advance your ticket, just call 0030 2310 595408 to check availability and plan to arrive there at least 30 minues before the departure to get a ticket.
From the airport of Thessaloniki to the KTEL bus station the taxi will cost you about 40 E or you can get the public transportation.

I hope this has been useful to you!

Thessaloniki-Istanbul "filias ticket"

The Question:

Dear Stavros,
do you know anything about \"filias ticket\" in Greece? I have to travel from igoumenitsa to thessaloniki and then to istanbul. May you give me any information?
Thanks,
Lorenzo


The Answer:

Hello Lorenzo!

As far I understood, by "filias ticket" you mean the Train Dostluk/Filia (Friendship) Express. This line connects Thessaloniki with Istanbul, departing from Thessaloniki at 20:00 (8 pm) and arriving in Istanbul just before 08:00 am the next morning (a 12-hour trip). The one-way fare, including the sleeping compartment fee, is 85 E for one person in a private sleeping compartment, or 97 E for two people (48,50 E per person) sharing a sleeping compartment.
The KTEL bus connection between Igoumenitsa and Thessaloniki costs 37 E and you will arrive at Thessaloniki 5 hours later. Please mind that there is only one route per day at 10.30 am.

Hope I helped you!

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!!!

Connection from Thessaloniki to Asprovalta/Stavros

The Question:

Hi Stavros,
is there any bus (or train) connection from Thessaloniki to Asprovalta/Stavros. Do you know how much would it cost to rent a car for three days in Thessaloniki?

Thanks for answering, Leo.


The Answer:

Hi Leo!

There is quite frequent KTEL bus connection from Thessaloniki to Asprovalta and Stavros every 1 - 1,5 hour. The first one is at 5.30 in the morning and the last one at 21.30. You can call on 0030 2310 522164 to find out more.
With the train I am afraid there is not a route that connects Thessaloniki with either Asprovalta or Stavros.
As far as the car rental is concerned, I cannot name a price as it really depends on the type of the car, the dates and the pick up/drop off location. You can insert here all the requested information and check it up by yourself.

Hope I helped you and that you' ll enjoy the region there!

How far is Thessaloniki airport from the KTEL coach station?

The Question:

Hi Stavros. We need to get from Thessaloniki airport to Volos. Have read all the messages below so I know about the coach etc. My question is, how far is Thessaloniki airport from the KTEL coach station, since, as we are 4 people, we may want to take a taxi rather than the number 78 bus. We have friends in Volos, so we don\'t have any transport problems once we arrive in Volos.We may also wish to take a taxi from Coach station in Thessaloniki to the airport on our return, so this information would be useful.
Many thanks
Regards
James


The Answer:

Hello James!

You can be from the Thessaloniki Airport to Thessaloniki KTEL coach station in about 40 minutes under normal traffic. The taxi should cost you about 25 Euros. If you want to travel after midnight then the rate is double. Also keep in mind that during noon the traffic could be a problem, so the taxi may cost you a bit more.

At any case you can arrange a taxi transfer for any place in Thessaloniki and find out more about the rates by calling on 0030 2310 214900.

Hope I helped you!
