Rating

Rail travel between Athens and Platy provides direct city-center to city-center service with access to mainline stations and fewer intermediate transfers than flights. Buses offer flexible schedules and lower fares but take longer on the same corridor. Flights are faster in the air but require transfers to and from airports and do not serve Platy directly. For overall door-to-door travel on this route, rail remains the more direct option.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
