I am trying to suprise my family by flying down to Greece. I work for an airline so for a good price I can fly from las vegas to Athens Greece. I need to get from Athens to Thessaloniki. Probably the airport in Thessaloniki will do. Can I lpease get some suggestions on what the cheapest way to get there is. By plane is almost 200 one way. Is there a train from airport to airport ? Or a ferry? And if so where to find the information to buy tickets and how much thecost is. I appreciate the help in advance! I guess I should add that my greek is good but im having trouble reading the websites. The carpool.gr sounds like a good option, but I cant find the english option (if it has one) Also I guess along with finding the cheapest method, I also need to make sure that the method I chose is close to the athens airport. So is there a train station near by? and if not how far? thanks for all the answers! Im trying my best to figure this out!

Cheapest way (and the most cool due to the weather) is to take the night train from Larissis station. You can book a bed too! Is train 504 leaves at 22:55 every night arrives at Thessaloniki at 05:40 in the morning costs about 40 euro either way. On the other hand you have intercity trains from the same station to Thessaloniki 2 of them express at 07:54 and 20:39 duration about 4:10 hrs and at a cost of again 40 euros either way. Enjoy Thessaloniki!

Here are your options: 1. post a request on carpooling.gr to catch a ride from athens-thes on your requested date (approximate cost 20 euros) 2. take a train from ath-thes. The train company is www.ose.gr. 2a.There is a fast train called intercity (cost is about 60 euros for a 2 way ticket and trip lasts about 5 hours). 2b. There is a regular train (cost is about 30 euros for a 2 way ticket and trip lasts about 6 hours). 3. take a bus from ath-thes. The bus company is called KTEL. The trip lasts 6 hours and the cost is about 50 euros. Let me know if u need anything else!

Take the train because you will go through some of the mountains. It does not go from airport to airport. When you get off the plane in Athens, take a cab to the train station. It will take you to Thessaloniki and then take a cab from there to downtown. Find a hotel and stay there. Go to the beach and go see the White Tower. Depending where your are going to stay, you maybe able to walk to these places! Hope this helps!
