Bus Or Train - The Sightseeing Option
There are no direct trains or buses that connect Croatia to Greece, however it is fairly easy to travel between the two countries via Serbia and Macedonia. There are daily trains that run from Zagreb (Croatia) to Belgrade (Serbia), then a change at Belgrade to Thessaloniki (Greece). Once in Thessaloniki, there are train and bus services that can get you to other points within Greece.
Ferry - The Slower Option
There are no direct ferries operating from Croatia to Greece – instead you will have to take a detour via Italy. Ferry travel is most convenient if you are finishing a Dubrovnik Cruise and departing from this ancient city, with Bari (Italy) most likely to be the connection point. Be sure to check timetables for the specific day you intend to travel through Jadrolinija – Croatia’s largest ferry company. There are a number of different ferry operators that travel between Italy and Greece – you can find more information on timetables and prices at Greek Ferries and AFerry.
