Hallo together, my Plan is to travel in a few days from Thessaloniki to Skopje, making there a brake, then continuing to Beograd, then a second brake, then travelling to Zagreb. Do you know if there is a Connection from Thessaloniki to Skopje?
Can you provide any details? Thanks in advance.
Hallo an alle,
ich möchte von Thessaloniki zuerst nach Skopje fahren, dort paar Tage bleiben, dann nach Belgrad, dort wieder paar Tage bleiben, anschließend nach Zagreb. Ist eine solche Reise möglich? Gibt es Personenzüge? Vor allem eine Zugverbindung von Thessaloniki nach Skopje?
Besten Dank im Voraus.

Not now by train. So if you cannot travel any other route, fork out a few eur and take the bus. Do not expect that all buses are to be found online and can be reserved weeks ahead. Google will show in a split second dozens of bus-travel/booking sites to get an idea. In general, buses overthere tend to be much cheaper and also much better in comfort as trains.

Hi.
As nltrainer said already...



Thessaloniki to Skopje:
Currently no train connection. Bus replacement in the Greek part. The general long distance train does not run, also due to Covid:

General information and other options here on rail.cc:
https://rail.cc/train/thessaloniki-to-skopje

Using a bus: booking sites as follows or buy it locally at the bus station what is very common.

Departure in Thessaloniki here: https://rail.cc/thessaloniki/thessaloniki-macedonia-intercity-bus-station/l3599



Skopje to Belgrade:
Same situation as the long distance train does not run. See link above. Use a bus.


Belgrade to Zagreb:
Train connection available. Buy your ticket at the railway station for 29 EUR.

The night train is currently suspended.


Hope this helps... :)

Hi.
There is one bus company which runs on the route from Thessaloniki to Skopje.
But I have no information if you need documents due to Covid19 (international vaccination pass or something).

The bus company is called: Makedonija saobraćaj

Thessaloniki departure at 08:30 and 16:30
Skopje arrival 13:00 and 21:00

Buy your ticket locally at the bus station in Thessaloniki: https://rail.cc/thessaloniki/thessaloniki-macedonia-intercity-bus-station/l3599
The ticket price should be 20 EUR.

Best, Peter :)
