Status
The Thessaloniki-Athens direction runs the same roughly 4h53 journey time as Athens-Thessaloniki, still slower than the pre-February-2023 figure of about 3h59 because of the same ongoing speed restrictions and rebuilding work.

Where to go
The Athens arrival point for this direction is the same Larissa Station used for departures the other way -- not Kifissos, which is the separate intercity coach terminal.
