About Thessaloniki Railway Station
Thessaloniki's New Railway Station (Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos) serves as the main rail hub for northern Greece, with connections to Athens (4-5 hours), Larissa, and Kalambaka (for Meteora). International services to Sofia, Belgrade, and Skopje also depart from here.
The station is a utilitarian modern building with basic waiting areas, a small cafe, and a ticket office. It sits near the western waterfront, a short walk from the bustling Ladadika nightlife and dining district and the port area. The surrounding neighborhood is not particularly scenic but is well-connected to the city's bus and taxi networks.
