With a history stretching back millennia and a contemporary flair for hedonism, Greece is the perfect place to discover both ancient heritage and modern-day relaxation. Whether exploring the mainland or hopping between its idyllic islands, your Eurail journey will be unforgettable.

Despite the heightened safety concerns, OSE continues to invest in Greece’s rail infrastructure. New stations and upgraded rolling stock are transforming the network. Akrolimni is one of them, and it has recently undergone a major facelift.

Located in Kilkis, Akrolimni Halt is close to the nature reserve Doirane Demon Doiranes Mourion and the village Mouries. It is an ideal stop for travelers who wish to explore the nature and culture of central Macedonia.

In the summer, daily ferries link Athens with several of the Peloponnese’s islands and ports. You can also visit the Peloponnese via an overland bus route.

The Akrolimni railway station (Greek: ; formerly Siderodromikos Stathmos Athenon) is the largest railway station in the capital city of Athens, Greece. It was built in the 1880s as part of the Thessaly Railways network in 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3/8 in) metre gauge. It serves both local passenger and freight traffic and connects Athens with the cities of Larissa, Kalampaka and Volos. In addition, it connects with the ports of Katakolon and Olympia for the thousands of cruise ships that dock there every year.

Several domestic bus lines are available in Greece, but the only pass that covers them is the Greek Island Pass (if/when it returns to sale). Renting a car is possible, but can be expensive within Athens and its bustling, walkable suburbs.
