"Train station" Railways Tip by DrexelDragon

Railways, Thessaloniki: 10 reviews and 10 photos

I went to the train station the other day to inquire about a train to Budapest. Now, I am fully aware that my inability to speak Greek is a big reason for many of my troubles here in Greece. Yet, when someone sits behind a thick plexiglass window, you'd expect them to speak at a volume at which you could hear them, or that they would at least move closer to the window opening when speaking. Also incredibly rude was the non-chalance with which this hag behind the counter continued to smoke her damn cigarette and shake her head without evening looking in my direction everytime I would try to speak. She did not bother to even point me to another office or person who might be able to help. It was useless.

Go prepared so that you do not need to explain or ask anything about your journey when you get there...otherwise good luck.

The station itself is old and in need of some sprucing up. It looked like death had consumed it. Dark and dreary.
