I am having trouble finding a way to go from Igoumenitsa to Kastoria in early August. Is there a train that would work for us? We are coming from Corfu on the ferry.
I also see there is a bus that goes to Thessaloniki but I can't find what stops it makes a long the way. The KTEL website isn't too helpful. We have relatives in Kastoria that may be able to meet us if it isn't too far.
Also, we would consider renting a car just for that drive. Any thoughts on the availability of an automatic transmission and if it woudl feasible since it is only one way? I know my questions are deviating from the rail system but I was online all day yesterday and got no where.
Thank you very much.

There is no railway system on this area so bus is the only way.
I checked routes and i think it's preferable to go from Igoumenitsa to Ioannina and then from Ioannina to Kastoria.
Ioannina and Kastoria are the two greek towns in mainland with a lake in their center..
