From Piraeus port to Thessaloniki by Train

The Question:

Hi Stavros,
are there trains going from Pireaus Port to Thessaloniki or do I have to go to Athens to catch the bus to Thessaloniki?


The Answer:

Hello!
There are trains leaving from Athens to Thessaloniki. From the port of Piraeus you can either take the metro or the suburban railway in order to reach the main train station Larissis from where you will switch trains and take the one to Thessaloniki. If you choose to go by metro to the Larissis trains station, then you need to take the green line from Piraeus and then by changing to the red line stop at "Larissis station". If you prefer to take the suburban railway, then you will only need to take one train until the "Stathmos Athinon" station which is actually a second name for the Larissis main train station. Be aware that the metro departs from a different station than the suburban railway! Both station though are very close to the port of Piraeus and within walking distance!
Hope this helps!
