Greece has 16 international airports
and has air links to every major city in Europe. In addition,
there are direct flights to and from the USA, Canada, Australia
and various Asian cities.
There are also frequent flights to/from
Istanbul and Sofia. Cheap charter flights are available from
London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris to Athens, Thessaloniki
and some of the islands. However, conditions apply; if you take
a side trip to Turkey you may not be allowed to use the return
portion of your charter-flight ticket.
By land, there are road connections
from Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania and Macedonia. There are also
trains from Macedonia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Travelling to Greece on an Inter-rail
or Eurail pass does not necessarily entail travel through Macedonia,
however, as the ferry-crossing from Italy is often included in
the ticket.
There are ferries from Brindisi, Bari
and Otranto in Italy, and from various Aegean ports in Turkey.
There are also boats from Israel and Cyprus.
