How Can I Travel From Rome, Italy to Athens, Greece?
When planning your European Vacation two of the most popular spots are Rome and Athens. The question then becomes how does one travel from Rome to Athens? You have three primary travel options to get the job done…
First there of course is the option of flying. You can hop on a plane from Rome and be in Athens in around two hours which is very easy. Flying is also the best bet if you are on a limited time schedule and trying to get the most sites in as possible. All other options take more time and can be enjoyable but not if you are in a hurry. Secondly the EuRail can get you across Europe but the trip will take in excess of forty hours making it an unpleasant route for even the most seasoned train travelers. The third route for the more adventurous traveler is taking a train to the coast and hoping on the ferry across the sea. To do this most will hop the train in Rome and take it over to Bari where they board the ferry to Parta. Once in Parta you will be able to get on a train into Athens. This combo will take less time than over land but still can take in excess of twenty hours.
