Hi there, I’ve been checking out buses departing from Thessaloniki to Skopje and on the Balkanviator website I found 3 buses daily. However, I could not find any more information about which bus station these would be departing from, I did try contacting the bus companies via email, but as expected didn’t hear back. Does anyone know which bus station(s) these would likely be departing from? https://www.balkanviator.com/en/bus-timetables/thessaloniki-gre/skopje-mkd/06.07.2022 Thanks, Alexia Thank you, yes there is a KTEL Makedonias bus station. I’ll go for that one!
Greek railways currently only show trains until the end of March. I tried a few dates and they always seem to have the same timetable with 5 trains and the first one arrives in Thessaloniki at 10:32. There might be a timetable change in April, but I wouldn't hope for an arrival before 9. The night train that once existed also seems to have disappeared. Thank you very much. I may have been unclear but I just needed a train to arrive around 14:00 and the earlier the better, so that’s perfect. Do you think it would be more or less likely that a train arriving at 10:32 would remain into the summer months? :)
Better to take a direct bus all the way. Do NOT mess around with impossible connections, going all the way across town to find a busstation (though it has to be said in old Yugoslavija these are often ar more modern and better equipped as ailing antique trainstops), and there is a reason why there are hardly any trains over there: rails have not been updated since Yugo fell apart, nor have most wagons/trains. Chance this train will return this summer: very slim to nil. About anyone who wants to travel overland to GR nowadays goes via ITaly and ferry from there. Thank you very much for the advice. We were actually trying to get to Sarajevo from Thessaloniki and trying to connect in Belgrade with this night train and a direct bus from Belgrade! However the direct bus from Thessaloniki to Belgrade costs more than we would like. Do you have any other suggestions for how we do Thessaloniki- Sarajevo?
This service is currently suspended and nobody knows when this train returns. Maybe you have luck and the train returns in summer, otherwise there are no trains from Serbia to North Macedonia / Greece :/ I suggest to travel from Belgrad to Niš, and from there take a bus to Thessaloniki Thank you very much, we’re in fact trying to do the other way (from Thessaloniki to Belgrade). This is actually in the hopes of them getting a bus to Sarajevo! Do you have any other suggestions for getting to Sarajevo from Thessaloniki - or Athens?
