Hello
My girlfriend and I are planning to go interrailing in July. It will be our first time interrailing so we're looking for some useful tips and advice.
The countries we're planning to visit are:
Czech Republic [b](Prague)[/b] - Austria [b](Vienna)[/b] - Croatia [b](any suggestions?)[/b] - Bosnia [b](want to go to Kravica waterfalls)[/b] - Greece [b](Athens possibly)[/b]
We will be getting the 5days within 10days pass and will be spending about 3 to 4 days in each country.
We won't be using our pass until after our Prague visit as we're planning to get a flight from the UK to Prague. (and the same for Greece back to the UK).
We're looking for some information on transportation and best locations to visit. Is there an overnight train that runs from somewhere in Bosnia to Greece?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Benny,

as has been explained here now .. times, since 1/1/11 as an economy measure to save €€, the greeks have stopped ALL international trains,. So that would mean bus or ferry-not incl. in the ticket.
I also doubt a lot if IR would pay off for your trip, but this also depends on age. And do the math: if you stay 3-4 days in 5 cities-how can you possibly press that in 10 days?
again depending on age and willingness to use other, slower trains and prebook via obscure (for the english...) other rail-websites and stick to those booked trains, you could do it alternatively. beyond AUstria fares are very, very reasonable, if not downright cheap. So are they In the CZ rep.
