Getting Around Stavroupoli

There is a reliable and robust public transportation system in Stavroupoli. It is easily accessible by car so travelling east from Thessaloniki, take the Xanthi East Junction exit and then take the National Highway to Stavroupolis. It takes around four and a half hours by bus to get from Stavroupoli to Thessaloniki via Xanthi.

Many visitors travelling through Greece choose to hire a vehicle since it provides more comfort, flexibility, and convenience than using public transportation. Greece not only offers a fantastic network of well-maintained highways, but the scenery along the way is also exceptionally attractive, with many of the routes offering breathtaking ocean vistas. If you're going with a big party, renting a minivan may be a good option. You may also book a one-way hire, which allows you to pick up your car in one city – say, Athens – and drop it off in another – say, Stavropouli – before flying out of the country. This would save you the time and inconvenience of having to drive it back to your location.
