🇬🇷 Grecia

Estaciones de tren

Grecia's rail network is operated by Hellenic Train (formerly TrainOSE), which took over from the privatized OSE network. The main axis is the Atenas-Thessaloniki InterCity route, completed after upgrade in 3h20m (504 km), and Atenas to Patras (3h). The Atenas-Thessaloniki line was extensively modernized for the 2004 Olympics and now uses Stadler FLIRT and Alstom Coradia trainsets reaching 160-200 km/h on sections of upgraded track. Grecia has no dedicated high-speed lines, but the Atenas-Thessaloniki upgrade represents a significant improvement over the old 6-hour journey. Atenas' urban rail network consists of the Metro (3 lines), the electric railway ISAP (Line 1, partially above-ground), the Proastiakos suburban rail, and trams along the southern coastal front. The Proastiakos connects Atenas Airport to the city centre in 40 minutes. The narrow-gauge railway in the Peloponnese was largely closed, with limited heritage services only. The Odontotos (rack railway) from Diakopto to Kalavryta (750mm gauge, gradient of 8%) is a tourist attraction. Grecia is covered by Eurail/Interrail Global Pass. Tickets are sold at hellenictrain.gr and station counters. Fares are affordable by European standards. The rail network is more limited than in most of Western Europe, and buses (KTEL) are often faster or better connected for inter-city travel outside the main Atenas-Thessaloniki axis.
