Greece

Inasmuch as Greece is most famous for its archaeological finds and significance in antiquity, many visitors are astounded to learn this scenic, sun-drenched country also includes about 1,400 islands and more than 7,500 caves, many of which contain subterranean rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. Complementing this varied geographic wonder are the mountain ranges such as the Pindus and, of course, the waters of the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and the Saronic Gulf linking Attica (Athens areas and its port Piraeus) to the Peloponnese. © 2009, The Globe Pequot Press, LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski Information by Europe by Eurail

Show Details Train Travel in Greece and Greece Rail Maps

The Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) has modernized its public transportation network considerably in the past few years, including adding new rail lines, upgrading existing ones, and introducing more modern, faster rolling stock. Arrivals from eastern European countries and points in northern Greece terminate in Athens's Larissa Station, a standard-gauge facility. If you are travelling via Attika's Superfast Ferries or Hellenic Mediterranean Lines ferries to the port of Patras, the Peloponnese Station (narrow gauge) will be your arrival point. The two stations lie parallel to each other, with a connecting, overhead footbridge. The OSE accepts a variety of multicounty rail passes, including the variety of Eurail passes. © 2009, The Globe Pequot Press, LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski Information by Europe by Eurail
