About To Athens & Thessaloniki
Direct flights link Istanbul’s airports with Athens in around an hour and a half, and with Thessaloniki. Long-distance buses run to Thessaloniki, a long day’s journey via the Greek border. There is no direct passenger train between Istanbul and Greece at present. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Athens City Guide, covers the Greek capital, the Riviera and the islands.
