Hello I am going interaillin for a month this summer starting in Athens on the 18th of June and looking to arrive in Valencia by the 15th of July for the Benicassim music festival. The cities I would like to visit are
Split(Croatia)
Budapest
Vienna
Prague
Berlin
Amsterdam
Barcelona
Valencia
Has anyone done a similar route before or anyone have any tips on what rout to take or how much it is going to cost I would really appreciate it. I have 2500 euro at the moment, would that be enough?

Hi.
From [b]Athens to Split[/b] it is a bit complicate.
You have the option [b]Athens-Patras-ferry to Italy-Italy-ferry to Split[/b]:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/athens-to-patras[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-greece-italy-patras-bari-ancona-venice/f1348[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-italy-croatia/f2338[/u]
Or [b]only by train via Belgrade, Zagreb to Split[/b]:

[u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/zagreb-split-b821/129[/u]
You have also the possibility: [b]Belgrade-Bar[/b] and then by bus to Split:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/belgrade-bar-train/f3445[/u]
[b]Split-Budapest[/b]: via Zagreb. And check the country topics: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]
[b]Budapest-Vienna[/b]: only use direct international trains, otherwise you will have to pay supplements for the Hungarian national trains.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-vienna-munich-train-railje/f4070[/u]
[b]Vienna-Prague[/b]: by direct EC day trains with a supplement of EUR 7.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/vienna-berlin-en-60406/45[/u]
[b]Prague-Berlin[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-berlin-train/f3360[/u]
[b]Berlin-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-amsterdam-train/f2407[/u]
[b]Amsterdam-Barcelona[/b]:
Amsterdam-Paris: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-paris-train/f1472[/u]
Paris-Barcelona: I recommend to use the way trough the Pyrenees, as for the fantastic nature, the Petit Train Jaune and it is as well cheaper than the direct night train.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-pyrenees-barcelona-le-petit-tain-jaune/f4023[/u]
https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/france/fr
[b]Barcelona-Valencia[/b]: by day trains - attention as nearly all trains n Spain have supplements:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/spain/es[/u]
Of course there are always other connections and routes available. Just use the [b]schedule planer[/b]:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
And 2500 EUR including the ticket should definitely be enough.
Have a sunny trip and if you want to support our work here at the forum, buy your official InterRail pass at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Thank you, Peter :)

So there is no way to go from Split to Athens easily by train?

No, part of the way would probably have to be done by bus
