Guest akindo Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 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! akindo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akindo Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 665 Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akindo Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 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... akindo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
