Hi all. Im going to Samothraki, but have a problem. I will arrive in Igoumenitsa Tuesday morning at 13:30. How can I get to Kavala from there? Can anybody give me train/bus times or a website? It seems like I wont make it to Samothraki in time, meaning I wont go at all. I can be in Italy ready to take a boat either to Patras or Igoumenitsa Monday afternoon. Basically, what is the fastest way to get to Samothraki from Italy??? Please help me.

 

Thanks!

I read this on Samothraki forum:

 

If you can make it to thess by wednesday morning the latest,take the 11.00(greek hours)bus to kavala.It's a 2.5 hours trip so you"ll be in kavala at 13.30.At 15.00 a boat leaves from kavala to samothraki.this is the cheapest and shortest way to the fest.

 

So can I make it from Igoumenitsa to Thessaloniki if I arrive in Igoumenitsa Tuesday at 13:30?

 

Thanks again.

I just checked the Greek railway site "ose.gr" and maps and some bus routes this is what I came up with.

 

The boat from Kavala port leaves at 21:00 (check http://www.samothrakidancefestival.com/mus...imetables.html) and arrives after 4 hours (on the webpage it says 05:15 but i think it's wrong).

 

So u have 7,5 hours to get to Kavala.....

 

Hgoumenitsa to Thessaloniki is 5 hours but I don't know when the buses leave (call 06650-22309 to check).

 

And from Thesaloniki to Kavala it's another 2,5 hours (call 510-222111 to check)

 

 

If everything goes perfect u'l be there in time, if not u can wait for the next one which is wednesday 15:00..

 

But I suggest that if u see that U r running late to continue to alexandroupoli and take the boat that leaves 7:30 wednesday!

 

Phew!!! I was searching for like an hour to get all this

OK, thank you soooooooo much for your help!!! It seems like I might be going to Samothraki afterall. I will travel alone from Denmark, so it will be a long journey...
