Hello, I am trying to do a trip starting fron Athens crossing some countries to Poland.
But it is being difficult to me to find trains information in Greece in the rail planner app.
Even if I know there are trains available, how can I know if they are included in the Interrail pass?
For example i want to do, Athens-Kalambaka. I know there is a connection but don't know if it is included in the pass. Because the connection has a change to a bus in middle of the way. So that bus will be included?
Don't use the Rail Planner app for actual planning. The app is often wrong and outdated. Personally I use DB Navigator app and the companies websites
Hellenic Train doesn't share its timetables with the European database. You have to use their own website: https://tickets.hellenictrain.gr/dromologia/?lang=en
There are indeed rail replacement buses to Kalambaka (there's a railway usually). Pass valid.
You'll need to make (free) reservations at a ticket counter in Greece. Little bit written here: https://www.hellenictrain.gr/en/eurail-interrail
There are no international trains from/to Greece. The easiest option is to take a bus from Thessaloniki to Sofia and then continue by train. :)
Oh thank you so much!
Yeah about international trains I alreay knew.
I was just a bit confused if the trains I want to take in Greece were all included.
Thanks again!
