There are indeed no international trains from/to Greece for a few years. This is mainly due to political tensions but also due to the lack of investment in cross-border railways.

You have 2 options :

- ferry from Italy to Patras (discount with Eurail) + bus Patras - Kiato and train to Athens (all covered)

- bus from Sofia to Thessaloniki (not included, no discount)
