Information on Thessaloniki-Ohrid connection

The Question:

Hello Stavros,
well I thought that this communication could be just a joke but fortunatelly it is not!Thanks a lot for the information.
I have further questions.As we will be just 2 persons and do not feel like coming by night to an unknown place...could you check if there is an earlier bus e.g. to Ochrid in Makedonia? From there there is for sure a bus connection to Pogradec too. Thanks a lot.Could you possibly give me information on a cheap hotel/ accomodation in Thessaloniki at the price upto 20 EUR/night/person?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Iveta


The Answer:

Hello again Iveta! Of course it is NOT a joke! I am not making this up, all these are real answers to all the emails i get. It's my life's purpose you see!!!

Well, to your question now. I have to admit that I am not very familiar with routes outside Greece. From what I have found there is no other route from Ktel Bus station at Thessaloniki heading to those destinations. I have found a connection by train but it is even later so I guess it is not what you are looking for. Check it out though online here and you will be able to see the route Thessaloniki-Ohrid departing 23.55 or try more stations and you might have better luck.
Information about hotels in Thessaloniki you can find on FantasticGreece.com if you have certain dates on your mind. There are some with 50 euros per day double room.

Keep it up!

-Stavros
