Athens Kyllini

The recommended drive follows Olympia Odos towards western Peloponnese. The lower-toll alternative includes the verified Kato Achaia entry movement, so its real ramp charge remains in the comparison.

Athens Trikala

STARTING POINT

From Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki Drama

Thessaloniki Serres

The recommended drive uses the Lagkadas branch and Strymoniko. Avoiding the two charges adds enough distance that the fuel-only estimate can be slightly higher overall.

Thessaloniki Volos

The recommended drive follows the A1 south and exits at Velestino. A parallel old road passes near Gyrtoni without using its toll ramp, so only genuine road movements are charged.

Thessaloniki Xanthi

The recommended drive stays on Egnatia Odos through the Kavala corridor. The lower-toll alternative uses specific ramp movements and should be weighed against its extra time and distance.

Thessaloniki Kavala

The recommended route follows Egnatia Odos and normally stays below two hours. The lower-toll option uses verified side-gate movements rather than assuming that every nearby toll is crossed.
