    Athens ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท to Thessaloniki ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท by Train: My Journey Through Mainland Greece

    Excerpt

    A five-hour train journey from Athens to Thessaloniki, a restaurant car, Mount Olympus, and a rather important mission to find the authentic Trigona Panoramatos. Join me aboard Hellenic Train’s InterCity service for a full day exploring Greece by rail โ€” travelling Second Class on the way north and First Class on the return.
