Taking the risk of sounding like a broken record, Greece, our beloved, sundrenched country, is the dream destination for most people in the world, with many of them making their dreams a reality and visiting it. As a result, the country has developed excellent tourist infrastructure, part of which is regarding transportation. Indeed, Greece has great public transport facilities. Domestic flights, ferries, buses, trains, and taxis all over the country allow you to reach even the most remote places in mainland Greece or the islands. Here is an overview of the best way to transport around the country, from public transport in Greece to private transportation services, depending on your budget, priorities, and preferences. Expectedly, in Greek cities, public transport is more frequent, with many more stops and a much further reach. Across cities, the buses provide a more efficient way to travel around the city while the railway network follows, as does the Athens Metro system, which is exclusive to the Greek capital. In fact, in the capital of Greece, Athens, you can get around using the Athens metro and electric railway, suburban railway, city buses and trolleybuses, trams, and taxis. 'KTEL' is an intercity bus system that offers very high efficiency between towns. Local KTEL buses connect all of the Greek mainland destinations, as does the intercity railway network, which is faster yet costlier. Of course, Greece has excellent public transport connections between mainland Greece and the Greek island destinations, especially from the port of Piraeus. This doesn't always stand true regarding the ferry connection between the islands, so if you're thinking about a Greek island-hoping adventure, you need to be cautious of that and choose your islands wisely. Domestic flights can significantly decrease the time to travel, although they will increase the budget. In addition to the popular Athens International Airport, there are airports in most big cities of Greece and on the most popular islands, while some of them even support direct international flights. Here is an introduction to all ways of private and public transport in Greece. The Greek railway network, in many places, passes through landscapes of rare beauty. In fact, most of them are the exclusive privilege of the passengers, as only the train passes through there. The current Greek railway network amounts to 2552 km. The existing train lines of public transport in Greece are Piraeus - Thessaloniki - Idomeni, Plateos - Florina/Kozani, Thessaloniki - Ormeni, Airport - Corinth - Kiato, Corinth - Kalamata, and Patras - Kalamata. The line Piraeus - Thessaloniki - Idomenis (on the Greek-Yugoslav border) has over 50 stations. The Pelion train also operates - in the spring and summer - as a tourist means from Diakopto to Kalavrita, as does the environmental train of Nestos, which departs from Xanthi, passes through the Liveron station and then to Stavroupoli and ends in Paranesti. When traveling by train, it is worth observing the architecture of the old stations of the network, most of which were built at the end of the 19th century and are true masterpieces of early industrial architecture and monuments of the modern cultural heritage of the Greek state. Some of these stations do not operate today, but they are preserved without losing their charm. In the first continental railway network, stations were simple volumes with neoclassical and regional elements. Such were the stations at Afidnes, Acharnes, Amfikleia, etc. The Central European type of station dominated the Macedonia-Thrace network. Also, the stations of Alexandroupoli, Didymoteicho, and Pythia, which were wooden and had two floors, were of remarkable aesthetics.
