Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from Bucharest to Athens

What are the most popular stations in Bucharest and Athens?

In Bucharest, you will usually depart from north station, Dr. Constantin Istrati Coach Stop or Militari Coach Station, while in Athens you will be arriving at Bus Stop, Leoforou Kifisou or Aigyptou Coach Station, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Athens from Bucharest? With 6 connections between 2 Bus and Flight operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Bucharest and Athens, you can pay as low as £37 with a Flight from LC Perú.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Aegean Airlines: you will get to Athens in just 1h 35m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey?
