If you are planning to travel to Greece and do not have your own car, you can travel by van or bus.

Van Transport to Greece

In recent years, van transport has become increasingly popular. Depending on the company, this type of transport may include door-to-door service. The ticket price is slightly higher than for bus transport, but the journey is more comfortable. Departures are possible from many cities in Serbia (by arrangement with the carrier). Vans are usually new, with 6-8 seats, and take you directly to the address or place where you are staying in Greece.

Departures are possible from all major cities in Serbia along the highway, but it is best to call the mentioned agencies by phone to make arrangements. They are usually available 24 hours for reservations. There is no strict schedule for departures, as the departure is coordinated with all passengers. During the season, departures are daily.

The advantage of traveling by van to Greece is that during the tourist summer season, there are daily departures, sometimes even multiple times a day. A disadvantage of this type of transport is that the van usually does not only go to one destination, but it may happen that on the way to your destination you have to make stops at other places to drop off other passengers. In this sense, this type of travel may be slightly more tiring and slightly longer, so it is advisable to inquire before booking a ticket.

Van carriers traveling to Greece include: Terra Travel, Gea Team, Axios.
More information about departures and prices can be found on their official websites.

Bus Transport to Greece

There are several bus companies that have regular bus lines to Greece.
These include Siamos Tours, FP Travel Patrikalos, and Falcon.

You can check the schedule for FP Travel Patrikalos here.
Siamos has multiple departures per week, and you can check the schedule on their website here.
Falcon operates twice a week, and you can check the departure times and prices here.

These carriers usually have two or three departures and returns per week, traveling to Thessaloniki and through the Olympic region and Larissa to Athens and back.

If you opt for this type of travel for your vacation, see in our article how you can travel by bus from Thessaloniki to the resorts in Halkidiki here.

Some domestic travel agencies also provide bus transport to Greece, without the obligation to book a package deal. To book a ticket for travel only in some agencies, you may have to wait until a few days before departure because priority is given to passengers who have also booked accommodation. However, with some other agencies, it is possible to reserve transportation well in advance. For transportation, contact Hellena, Astra, Sabra, Omnitours, Akva, and so on.

Transport to Greek Islands

There are no regular bus lines from our country to the Greek islands, including Thassos, so the only option is to travel by buses from domestic travel agencies.
Another option is to travel by regular bus lines mentioned above to Thessaloniki, and then by Greek intercity buses to Kavala or other ports from where ferries depart to the island you wish to visit.

Train transport to Thessaloniki is currently not possible due to railway reconstruction.
