Stops, in travel order
Athens (Kifissos, Terminal A) → Thessaloniki (Macedonia terminal) → Thessaloniki (Monastiriou, railway station)
Also boardable at Piraeus (Gate E8). The operator sells boarding for this line there, but it is not one of the stops in the chain above, so the grid below carries no time for it — ask when you book.
Route map
The line joins the stops in order. It is not the road the bus takes — it is a straight chord between points, so treat it as sequence, not geometry. A hollow, dashed stop marker means the coordinate is a village centre rather than a surveyed bus bay; tap it to see where it came from.
