Hi.

There is no train station in Igoumenitsa.
Only in Patras. From there you can travel to Athens [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/patras-to-athens[/u]

But the fastest way would be:
[b]Igoumenitsa by bus to Thessaloniki[/b]: ~ EUR 25
[b]Thessaloniki-Istanbul[/b] by train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/athens-istanbul-train/f2370[/u]

Exactly. I just checked about bus timetable and it seems there is only one bus daily from Igoumenitsa to Thessaloniki at 10.30 , but from Corfu to Thessaloniki there are two buses daily at 06.45 and 19.00 which cost 27 euros.
