If you are travelling by ferry from Bari, Ancona, Brindisi, or Venice, you will arrive at the city of Igoumenitsa, on the West coast of Greece. Once in Igoumenitsa, proceed in the direction of the city of Ioannina via the Egnatia Motorway (Egnatia Odos) and continue further towards Thessaloniki. Total traveling distance from Igoumenitsa to Thessaloniki is about 3.5 hours, in mountainous scenery that will leave you mesmerized.

Alternatively, from Italy, you may reach the southern Greek port of Patras (map 2), instead of Igoumenitsa. If so, use a map to the following course: From Patras (taking the road to Athens), to Rio, crossing to Antirio (via the new longest suspension bridge of Europe), on to Amfissa and then Lamia, where you will join the Athens-Thessaloniki Highway, turning North to Thessaloniki. (The Patras to Thessaloniki drive is 488 km or about 6 hours.)
