How to get to Greece. Rail transport in Greece To Greece by train

From Moscow (Domodedovo) to Athens - five flights per week, to Thessaloniki, Rhodes and Heraklion - four flights per week, one flight per week to the island. Kos. this company also operates seasonal flights to Crete from Moscow.

From Cyprus

There is a regular flight from Limassol to Lavrion (40 km from Athens).
You can also take cruises offered by Salamis Lines or car ferries from Athens to Larnaca (they have several cabins for passengers), but the cost of such travel is much higher than the cost of air travel.

From Turkey

There are regular connections between Turkish resort towns and the islands of Greece (Marmaris - Rhodes, Bodrum - Rhodes, Fethiye-Rhodes, Kusadasi - Samos, Chios - Cesme, Lesbos - Ayvalik). Ticket prices are relatively high, which is explained solely by the tourist orientation of these lines. Ticket Marmaris - Rhodes costs from $40 one way, Cesme - Chios from $35. Small discounts are available when purchasing round-trip tickets.

According to agreements between Greece, two flights are carried out in each direction - on a Greek and Turkish vessel, respectively. At the same time, tickets in each country are sold, as a rule, only for their own ships. For example, on the island of Lesvos they sell tickets for the morning Greek ferry to Turkey, but it is not possible to buy tickets for the Turkish ship departing in the afternoon.

From Israel

The situation with ferries is constantly changing. In 2010, the service was restored again, however, we are talking about cruise ships traveling on the route Athens - Limassol - Haifa/Ashdod - Port Said (Egypt) - Limassol. The Cyprus company Salamis Lines has begun selling tickets for these cruises, including to those traveling one way between Israel and Greece. The cost of sailing is quite high - 250 euros one way, which is one and a half times more expensive than air travel between the two countries. Tickets are sold by Cypriot companies Salamis Lines, Varianos Travel and Israeli Rosenfeld Shipping.

By bus and car

Distance from Athens by road: Moscow - 3180 km, Sofia - 820 km, Bucharest - 1220 km, Tirana - 815 km, Istanbul - 1135 km, Skopje - 710 km.

Every day Arda Tur buses depart from Sofia to Thessaloniki: at 10.00, 12.30, 17.00, 23.30 (the schedule may change and must be clarified in advance!). The journey takes about 6 hours.

Grekoblog has already touched upon the topic of traveling by rail in Greece more than once and, it would seem, has exhausted it completely. However, relatively recently, the Greek railway operator TrainOSE made one important innovation - it has now become possible to buy tickets for intercity trains on-line, which will allow us all to be more flexible in planning our trips.

The introduction of a service for booking and purchasing train tickets on-line opens up another opportunity for travelers. Now you can easily not only buy a ticket for the desired date, but also view the train schedule along the route. If anyone has encountered an attempt to find out the Greek railway schedule before - they won’t let you lie - it was a very difficult task. Especially for those who were not particularly comfortable with the Greek language. Now everything is easier. And although the work of the English version of the site still leaves much to be desired, it is still much more “advanced” than the one that was before.

However, for those who are used to using Google Chrome, the problem with the language is not that big. In its composition, the Greek language has much more in common with Russian than English. Therefore, at worst, you can always clarify anything incomprehensible by resorting to the help of an online translator - there should not be any particular difficulties.

It’s clear that Grekoblog couldn’t pass up the opportunity to test the service and did it right on the eve of the New Year. So for those who are having difficulties with the service, we decided to print step-by-step instructions.

First of all, go to the service website: http://www.trainose.gr/

Start page of the trainose.gr service

In the left corner we have a window Αναζήτηση δρομολογίων, which means “Schedule search”. Since the English version did not display the Latin names of the required stations at the time of the test, I had to “drive in” in Greek. For those who do not have a Greek keyboard layout, you can start typing in English: a drop-down list will appear, from which you can then select the names of the desired stations in Greek. Then enter the travel dates, choosing απλή μετάβαση, if we are traveling one way, or με επιστροφή, if you are also interested in a return ticket. Press Αναζήτηση δρομολογίων again and see the schedule for the desired day.

Directly in the train schedule, the English version works much better

In our case, we can see that on the selected day (January 10) 7 trains depart from Athens to Thessaloniki. The 1st departure time from Athens is 7:18 am with arrival in Thessaloniki at 12:41. From the schedule it follows that it is more profitable to buy via the Internet: the ticket price starts from 19 Euros, while when buying through the ticket office best offer– 21.3 Euro.

Having selected a route that is suitable in time (in our case, No. 58, departing at 16:16 from Athens), click the “Preview and buy tickets” button that appears in the lower right corner and see confirmation of the selected train.

Before selecting seats in the carriage, the system will prompt you to check if everything is correct

If everything is correct, click “Continue” and proceed to selecting seats in the carriage.

In each carriage there are seats in different prices, although the difference between them is not obvious

So, before us is a diagram of the train and seats in the carriage. Before we move on, there are a few things to note:

A1, B2, B3 and B4 – show the numbers of cars and their class. A are cars of a higher class, B are cars of a lower class. The price, accordingly, will also differ. The green color of the carriage is the one in which we choose seats in at the moment. You can switch between cars by hovering your mouse over them.

The color with which the seats are allocated corresponds to their cost. In our case, orange seats are allocated for 19 Euros, blue – for 29. The seats closer to the edge of the contour line are near the windows, the rest are near the aisle.

In our case, the train only has seats. And don’t delude yourself that this is because of class B - in class A there are also only seats, although they are more comfortable.

Before proceeding to selecting seats, in the “People travelling” menu, indicate how many of you are going to travel on this train.

If you still have questions or see unfamiliar coloring of places, then in the upper right corner click on the usage guide, which will give answers to all possible questions.

Having chosen the place you like, click on it with the mouse - it will turn into a different color. Then click “Buy tickets”. After this, you will be redirected to the payment menu, where you can enter your card details to pay for the selected seat.

Interface for paying by card for selected places

Please note: in our case, the system confirmed that the ticket was selected for train No. 58, departing on January 10 on the Athens-Thessaloniki route. The selected seat is located in carriage B4, and its number is 82. The total cost of the ticket in our case is 19 Euros.

At the next stage, the system will ask you to indicate a name that will be written on the ticket, as well as a random password word “for every firefighter.” Then the document generation will follow. To be honest, I never figured out how to print it, so I used the PRTSC button to “photograph” the image of the ticket on the screen, and then saved it via PAINT as a JPG file. After all these “machinations” I simply printed the file on the printer.

The document contains the initials, surname, ticket number, route, cost, train number, date and time of departure, class of car, its number and seat.

At the station in Athens, before boarding the train, I simply showed the printout to the controller - he nodded and did not ask any additional questions. Within an hour after departure - already inside the train - there was another control, and you also just had to present it to the controller. The ticket did not need to be punched, certified, or validated. However, just in case, you should have with you a document in which your first and last name will be written in the same way as on the ticket.

That's all, actually. I hope you find this post helpful and good luck on your journey.

Moscow is almost 2 thousand kilometers away from Athens, and 2,500 kilometers between St. Petersburg and Athens. Therefore, for Russian citizens, as well as citizens of CIS countries, the best choice is air travel. There are direct flights between many major Russian airports and ports in Greece. The flight lasts from three and a half to four and a half hours, depending on the ports of departure and destination. The flight from Moscow to Athens takes just over three hours, from St. Petersburg – more than four hours.

A trip by rail, car or bus from Russia will take at least three days, so this option is suitable if you are planning to travel throughout Europe and look, among other things, into Greece. Prices for air tickets to Greece from Russia depend on the time of year, rising highest from June to early September (and Easter week). However, during the periods - April-May and from the end of September to October, prices decrease, falling lowest from November to March (with the understandable exception of Christmas and New Year, when prices are the same as in the high season). Please note that if you fly on weekends, you will have to pay extra.

You can reduce costs by contacting some specialized agent or discounter (an agent who makes money on the clientele’s love for discounts): they not only find discounted airline tickets for last-minute flights for their clients, but sometimes also offer benefits for students or young people, as well as a number of related services - sell along with a ticket, a train ticket, a car rental agreement, a train ticket, and so on. There are also companies that buy in bulk large number tickets and then selling them at a discount. Sometimes it is more profitable to buy a package of services - this is a comprehensive trip that covers not only air travel, but also accommodation in the host country and other services.

Even if you don’t end up buying a ticket for your flight online, browsing the sites itself is worthwhile: at least you’ll find out where and who has the best deals. But companies usually put on their website a very meager set of fixed prices for tickets that cannot be returned or changed, on the one hand, and very economy class prices, on the other, so if you want to expand your choice, you need to call the company office or Look for advice on one of the sites that advertise discounts and other benefits for travelers.

The cheapest options come with all sorts of restrictions: a flight on the night from Saturday to Sunday, say, or a mandatory stopover for three days, or the ticket is only valid for a month or two. Moreover, for violating the conditions for receiving any discounts and more or less tempting benefits, you are immediately frightened with terrible punishments for any violation: you can even lose the full cost of the ticket if you are late for departure or change your return date. Sometimes they offer discounts for people under 26 years of age.

• Airport in Athens

It is very easy to get lost in the huge Athens airport or miss your flight, especially when changing from one plane to another. Airport regulations require that the gap between your arrival in Athens and your departure from Athens on another aircraft must be at least 55 minutes, but some airlines require a gap of 90 minutes. Keeping in mind the usual, especially for Olympic, delays and protracted delays - safety! – checks, try to adhere to this rule when buying tickets.

Some - but (alas) not all - automatic ticketing systems will not satisfy your request if the interval between flights does not fit within the above limits. Hand over your luggage for inspection and check-in for the entire route, until your final destination. Even if international flight departing from your home country will be terribly late, if you follow this rule, you will still have a good chance of completing your chosen route on the same day, although your checked baggage may be delayed for a day.

Although Athens remains the main destination for low-cost flights, there are direct flights from Moscow to, as well as to the islands of Crete, Kos, Kerkyra, Zakynthos, Skiathos, (Thira), Lesvos and. And having flown by plane of any company to Athens, you can buy a ticket for any domestic flight - planes of the Greek companies Olympic Airways and Aegean Airlines fly to more than three dozen ports on the mainland and on the islands. The charter flight season lasts from the beginning of May to the end of October. At the height of the season, you may find that transactions involving only the purchase of an air ticket are rarely or reluctantly carried out by companies.

A direct flight to your chosen island may be more expensive, so it is recommended to take into account that many places can be reached much cheaper if you choose a flight through Athens. Tickets for domestic flights from Athens can be booked on the Aegean Airways website. The cost of round-trip tickets during the high season starts from reasonable prices for a flight from Moscow to Rhodes or Kerkyra and goes up to the average prices for a trip to Kefalionia. The usual prices for air travel in both directions between Russia and Athens depend on the season, for example, in winter it is cheaper, and when departing in August or at Easter, the cost of air travel will double. During the high season, prices increase.

If the price is most important to you, then at the height of the tourist season there is nothing left but to get to with transfers through some suitable European cities. Each airline has a variety of tariffs according to which it transports passengers. Some of them you may not even know about because they are confidential. Others, officially recommended by international air carrier associations, may make your hair stand on end, because the price of an air ticket issued at such a fare can be very high. But we will talk only about the most popular of them. Tariffs that do not impose any restrictions on passenger transportation are usually called normal.

They are divided into the following categories: First (F) – for a first class ticket, Business (C) – in business class, Full (annual) – economic. Tickets issued at these fares are usually subject to free change of dates and routes, and have no restrictions on validity periods. If you want to return such a ticket, you will only be charged the cost of the form. For an unused return ticket, you will receive a half refund minus a communication fee. In addition, passengers with such tickets can carry more baggage free of charge: 40 kilograms in first class and 30 kilograms in business class. The excursion tariff is not particularly different from normal tariffs. But there is one limitation: usually this is a certain minimum and maximum stay at your destination.

A ticket issued at this fare is almost always fully refundable and allows you to change the dates and route of travel. However, to change the date, you must contact the airline no later than 72 hours before departure. However, most passengers do not want to fly business class. That's why the broadest category of tariffs we use is called special tariffs. Each company determines for itself how much it will take tourists on vacation for. All special fares have a number of general rules: you cannot buy a one-way ticket; after departure, if you are late or change your mind, the ticket cannot be returned; return before departure is also impossible or carried out with a huge fine.

All fares have a minimum and maximum length of stay at the destination. Another characteristic feature of this group of fares is the impossibility of booking it: the rules state that payment for the air ticket must be made no later than 24-72 hours after booking. The airline’s logic here is quite obvious - the lower the tariff, the stricter the conditions for its application. For example, you can most often buy an inexpensive ticket issued at a youth fare only three to seven days before departure. The tariff, of course, is limited by the age of the passenger - from 12 to 25 years. If you bought a ticket with a fixed return date, it will not be returned even if you try to return it 10 minutes after purchase. Approximately the same conditions when purchasing a ticket at an age fare.

It offers a discount to people over 60: 25 percent of the price of a full annual economy class ticket. A prerequisite for purchasing a ticket at a group rate is to have a voucher proving that you are abroad. Moreover, 6-10 passengers must have such a voucher at the same time. The most affordable tickets for regular flights can be purchased at the Apex fare. An even cheaper version is called Super Apex. Both tariffs have a lot of restrictions. You can only fly at this fare in an economy class cabin. In addition, a strict “Deadline” appears as a strict tariff condition, that is, the deadline for purchasing a ticket.

Most often, it is necessary to purchase such a ticket 21 days, 14 days, 7, 3 days before departure and, conversely, no earlier than 7 days, no earlier than 3 days. Another serious limitation is the so-called “Blackout days”, days on which you cannot fly at this fare. According to the rules of some airlines, a ticket purchased at the Super Apex fare obliges the passenger to stay in the destination country for a certain period of time. For example, the tariff conditions of Aeroflot airline stipulate that a passenger must stay in the country from 7 to 14 days. Recently, there has been a noticeable spread special offers and advertising rates. This is how airlines try to fill empty flights during the off-season or attract passengers to new flights.

Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of these programs is their unpredictability, so it’s definitely not worth planning a trip based on such a tariff. So, if you want to save a little money on regular flights, you need to follow some fairly simple recommendations. The most important of them sounds simple: you need to buy a ticket in both directions at once, it will always cost you 30-50% less. As a rule, all confidential, special and promotional fares are only valid when you purchase a return ticket. There is no need to look for any special reason here; this is purely a marketing move by your air carrier: the company forces you to use its services when returning home.

If your route requires more than two cities, try to organize your trip so that the flight is as close to a direct line as possible. The price of an air ticket is calculated in terms of miles, and the more direct the route, the more reasonable it will be. There is such a tricky thing in air travel tariffs as the “Sunday rule”. When planning your trip, try to include at least one night from Saturday to Sunday in your stay. Compliance with the “Sunday rule” will provide the opportunity to take advantage of various discounts.

• Packages and tours to Greece

Almost any tour operator will certainly include Greece in their programs, although, as a rule, you will find that you are offered only famous resorts- these are the islands of Rhodes, Kos, Skiathos, Zakynthos, Kerkyra and, on the mainland, Tolo, the Messinia region and the Chalkidiki peninsula. When you purchase one of these last-minute deals, especially in the spring or fall, you may find that it costs little more than a plane ticket, and whether you stay in an expensive hotel or a modest retreat is up to you. However, if you want to go to a resort that is not so crowded with tourists and is “more Greek,” it is better to purchase a ticket from some specialized agency.

There are also such offers to clients as trips to islands and those corners that are not too crowded with tourists. By and large, we can say that these agencies are divided into two categories: some, like large chains, offer a contract for the entire season, including hotel accommodation and air travel (sometimes their own plane). Others will organize individual tours, include in the contract all the hassles with transport and accommodation at the vacation spot. Services of the second category are sometimes more expensive, but both flights and accommodation, as a rule, are of much higher quality.

• Traveling to Greece by train

A trip by rail from Moscow to Greece takes from two and a half to three and a half days and can cost more than air travel. This trip is also difficult to plan because there are no direct trains and the ticket must be purchased from different operators. However, you may be able to make stops along the way by purchasing an Interrail card (for EU citizens only) or a Eurail card (for residents of other countries), covering the entire European railway network, including Greece.

On Russian railways These cards are not valid and can only be issued for travel abroad. Usually they travel from the UK through France and to Bari or Brindisi, from which ferries go to. The alternative is a longer route overland through and. Book your seats in advance (especially in summer), and the most cheap tickets will cost you several hundred euros, of course not including travel expenses. You can use more expensive cards, which provide more opportunities.

Reims - - , and from Milan by Adriatic coast get to one of four ports with ferry piers.

However, even if you manage to get on the most expressways, you are unlikely to be able to drive the entire way without at least two overnight stops. Most ferries coming from Italy call at (Kerkyra), where you can stay for a while - you just need to make a note on your ticket about this intention. As a rule, ferry service is available all year round, but from December to April the number of flights and services is reduced. The journey from any Italian port to Patras costs the same as the road to Corfu. The cheapest route is from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa, but further, to the port of Patras, there is no ferry.

In addition, drivers have already learned that extra fuel costs and tolls for using Italian motorways eat up all the savings on cheap ferry tickets departing from Brindisi or Bari, so if you take the more expensive ferry tickets from Ancona or . then you won't lose anything in money. There is a fee on all international ferries - around €10 per person and per car or motorcycle, usually (but not always) included in the ticket price. For non-EU citizens, the fee is €19 per person and is sometimes charged twice, once upon boarding and once upon departure.

• Ferries Italy-Greece

If you want to sail from Italy to Greece you must choose one of five ports. Regular ferries carrying passengers and cars link Ancona, Bari and Brindisi with Igoumenitsa (the main port) and/or Patras (at the northwestern tip). All these flights operate all year round, but less frequently from December to April. Less regularly, ferries run from Venice and Trieste to Patras via Igoumenitsa or Corfu. Tickets for longer routes are more expensive, but the difference in price is exactly the same as the cost of travel to Brindisi. Almost all flights have the opportunity to make a stop in Corfu.

To get to Athens or to Athens as quickly as possible, go to Patras, from where you can get to across the country. In summer (especially July-August) it is necessary to book tickets several weeks in advance. In winter, you can simply head for the main ports (Brindisi and Ancona are perhaps more reliable than the others). However, making reservations in advance, at least a few days in advance, can’t hurt, especially if you’re driving or want a private cabin.

You can get there by plane, ferry, car or bus. Read about the possibility of getting from Russia to Greece by train at the link below. So, you can get to Greece:

From Cyprus

A regular ferry runs from Limassol to Lavrion (40 km from Athens).

You can also take cruises offered by Salamis Lines or car ferries from Athens to Larnaca (they have several cabins for passengers), but the cost of such travel is much higher than the cost of air travel.

According to agreements between Greece and Turkey, 2 flights are carried out in each direction - respectively, on a Greek and Turkish ship. For example, on the island of Lesvos tickets are sold for the morning Greek ferry to Turkey, but there is no opportunity to buy tickets for the Turkish ship leaving in the afternoon. Ticket prices are relatively high, which is explained solely by the tourist orientation of these lines. Small discounts are provided when purchasing round-trip tickets.

From Israel

The situation with ferries to Israel is constantly changing. In 2010, the service was restored again, however, we are talking about cruise ships traveling on the route Athens - Limassol - Haifa/Ashdod - Port Said (Egypt) - Limassol. The Cyprus company Salamis Lines has begun selling tickets for these cruises, including to those traveling one way between Israel and Greece. The cost of sailing is quite high - 250 euros one way, which is 1.5 times more expensive than air travel between these countries. Tickets are sold by Cypriot companies Salamis Lines, Varianos Travel and Israeli Rosenfeld Shipping.

By car

How many kilometers from Moscow to Athens? Below are some reference distances from Athens by road:

• from Moscow - 3180 km,
• from Sofia - 820 km,
• from Bucharest - 1220 km,
• from Istanbul - 1135 km.

By bus

Every day Arda Tur buses depart to Thessaloniki from the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia: at 10.00, 12.30, 17.00, 23.30 (the schedule may change and must be clarified in advance!). Travel time is about 6 hours.

By train

Attention, at the end of 2011, international rail traffic with Greece was suspended indefinitely due to the debts of Greek railway workers. In this regard, all trains previously traveling to Greece from Bulgaria, Macedonia and Turkey (and, accordingly, to reverse direction) were cancelled.

At the moment, the Greek government's plans include the resumption of railway traffic on the Thessaloniki-Belgrade route. However, information on the timing of the resumption of traffic is contradictory. So, initially it was planned to run this train only in the summer (from June 6 to September 28), later information appeared that it would run all year round, starting from April 25, 2014. In any case, when planning a trip to Greece, you should give preference plane, ferry or bus.

She made an invaluable contribution to European culture. Literature, architecture, philosophy, history, other sciences, state system, laws, art and myths of ancient Greece laid the foundation of modern European civilization. Greek gods known all over the world.

However, finding legitimate houses, villas, townhouses, apartments, correct execution of the transaction, and subsequent maintenance is a difficult task that our team has been solving for many years.

Russian Greece

Subject immigration remains relevant not only for ethnic Greeks living outside their historical homeland. The immigrant forum discusses how legal issues, as well as the problems of adaptation in the Greek world and, at the same time, the preservation and popularization of Russian culture. Russian Greece is heterogeneous and unites all immigrants who speak Russian. At the same time, in recent years the country has not met the economic expectations of immigrants from the countries of the former USSR, and therefore we are seeing a reverse migration of peoples.
