Hello,
we are looking for a train connection from Sofia to Athens or Patras in May 2019 - can anyone advise us on how to find connections and buying tickets?
(in particular for the part from Sofia to Thessaloniki, for which we have been unable to find schedules)
Thanks and best regards, Heike

Hello Heike and welcome.
Sofia to Thessaloniki is the first step.
Sofia dep 15:00
Thessaloniki arr 22:22
Ticket price is 33 BGN = 17 Euro
Reservation is 1 BGN
Ticket and reservation available at the station in Sofia.
Either you make an overnight stop in Thessaloniki: I recommend it. It\'s a nice town with good food and historic places. We stayed in this hotel: [u]https://rail.cc/en/thessaloniki/capsis-hotel-thessaloniki/l5610[/u]
Or you continue directly by night train.
Thessaloniki dep 23:00
Athens arr 05:01
This train only offers seats.
Ticket price is from 25 Euro
Ticket available on [ux]https://rail.shop/ose[/ux]
Use the same link for day train ticket bookings. Tickets available from 45 Euro.
From Athens you can continue to Patras. Tickets as well via the link above.
