Did that trip in 1990, the diary entry from the day raved about the scenery. Seeing this brought it all back. Many thanks.

Thank you and glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

This is great, you actually showed the scenery. Thanks, so many of these don’t show anything. Just the train.

Thank you for your kind comment! The scenery along the route varied a lot from urban to flat agrarian plateau landscapes and very mountainous stretches.

I was travelling by a cruise from çesme to greek islands including kos, rodos and santorini and finally pireus and athens 5 years ago. However, I've always wonder what it would be to travel by train mainland greece, in particular north part called macedonia. Maybe someday I do anyway greetings from toronto

Cengiz Dundar - Thank you for your comment! I found the Athens to Kalambaka train ride to be very interesting particularly the varying scenery.

[@scotsham]

Loved it. Can't wait to do it!

Thank you panagos89! Yes, I have watched your train videos and enjoyed them a lot! I was amazed by the landscapes of Meteora (I'll post a separate video of Meteora soon) and the 884 train ride was very interesting:) I do hope OSE is able to expand train services in the future. Do you know if there are any trains serving Peloponnesos anymore?

Nice video, but frequent zooming distorts the actual view from the train.
