The railway route from Greece connects Croatia <strong>via Serbia<\/strong>. If travelling by train, you would need to change trains in <strong>Belgrade<\/strong> or some other cities as well, depending on the departure. All trains arrive at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/zagreb-train-station\/\">Zagreb Main Train Station<\/a> from where you can continue to other Croatian cities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/zagreb-split\/\">Split<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/zagreb-rijeka\/\">Rijeka<\/a>. Trains between these two countries are not the most convenient way of travelling, however, it is possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Below is the detailed guide for the <strong>popular routes from Greece to Croatia.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Athens &#8211; Zagreb<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are <strong>no direct trains from Athens to Zagreb <\/strong>and it is not possible to buy a single ticket for the entire journey, you will need to <strong>combine more separate journeys<\/strong>. The route goes via <strong>Thessaloniki<\/strong> and <strong>Belgrade<\/strong>. This means that the entire journey consists of three routes:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Athens &#8211; Thessaloniki<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thessaloniki &#8211; Belgrade<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Belgrade &#8211; Zagreb<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Athens &#8211; Thessaloniki train<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are <strong>up to 5 daily train departures <\/strong>from Athens to Thessaloniki, including a <strong>night train<\/strong>. The route is operated by <strong>InterCity (IC) trains<\/strong>. The journey of the daytime train is around 4 hours while the night train travels for about 7 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The route is operated by <strong>TrainOSE<\/strong> company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The price of a regular one-way ticket starts from about \u20ac20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Thessaloniki &#8211; Belgrade train<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade usually goes <strong>via Skopje <\/strong>in North Macedonia. There is usually 1 night departure operated by <strong>Hellas Express<\/strong>. The entire journey takes around 15 hours and the tickets start from about \u20ac3. However, note that this route has been paused for several years and introduced again recently, so make sure you check the information for your exact travelling date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The alternative option is the train that goes <strong>via Sofia<\/strong>, Bulgaria and then continues to Belgrade. Depending on the time of the year, you can travel by <strong>direct train during the summer <\/strong>or an <strong>all-year-round train <\/strong>that makes a stop in <strong>Dimitrovgrad<\/strong> and <strong>Ni\u0161<\/strong>. Accordingly, the travel time can take either around 9 or 12 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>price of a one-way ticket <\/strong>for both trains starts from about \u20ac20, but in the case of an all-year-round train, you might need to buy separate tickets (to Ni\u0161 and then to Sofia).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Belgrade &#8211; Zagreb train<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you arrive in Belgrade, you can continue <strong>to Zagreb with a direct train route<\/strong>. Check out all information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/serbia-to-croatia-train\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, note that the overall journey could take quite some time. If trying to stick to ground transportation, you might <strong>consider taking a bus<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/getbybus.com\/en\/bus-athens-to-belgrade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athens to Belgrade<\/a> and then from <a href=\"https:\/\/getbybus.com\/en\/bus-belgrade-to-zagreb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Belgrade to Zagreb<\/a>. There are multiple departures on both routes, tickets start from about \u20ac95 (for both journeys combined) and the overall journey takes about 24 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Athens &#8211; Dubrovnik<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is <strong>no train from Athens to Dubrovnik<\/strong>, although it is a popular travelling route. Taking a train to Zagreb, as described in the previous section, makes no sense. <strong>If you prefer ground transportation, you can consider taking a bus<\/strong>. One of the most convenient routes would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/getbybus.com\/en\/bus-athens-to-tirana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bus from Athens to Tirana<\/a> and then a <a href=\"https:\/\/getbybus.com\/en\/bus-tirana-to-dubrovnik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bus from Tirana to Dubrovnik<\/a>. There are daily departures on both routes, tickets combined start from about \u20ac80 and the overall journey takes about 20 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Map of Greek Railway<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image lightbox\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3333\" src=\"http:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Greek-railway-network.png\" alt=\"Railway Network in Greece\" width=\"481\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Greek-railway-network.png 481w, https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Greek-railway-network-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/www.traincroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Greek-railway-network-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ose.gr\/en\/25-about-ose\/89-%CF%83%CE%B9%CE%B4%CE%B7%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B4%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BC%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AE-%CF%85%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%BF%CE%BC%CE%AE-2\">Ose.gr<\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no direct train from Greece to Croatia.
