To travel from Bulgaria to Greece in April what's the cheapest way by public transport ?

I am in France, I have a friend in Bulgaria and I want to visit her in April, I was thinking of taking Eurolines to Bulgaria, I would like to visit Greece also while I'm over there, is there a cheap way to go between Bulgaria and Greece, maybe a bus or train?

(I could also go from France to Greece and then Greece to Bulgaria instead if someone thinks this might be cheaper. I only know of eurolines for going between Lyon France and Sofia Bulgaria, but if you know of another cheap way to get to Bulgaria or Greece Ifrom France 'd be interested. Could also leave from Geneva since I live between Lyon and Geneve, thanks :o) )

Take the train from Vienna to Sofia.
Take train from Sofia to Salonica or Athens.
Those are your best bets.

Bob is right, the train is the best option. The trains in Bulgaria are not like the high speed ones we use, but they are reliable and extremely affordable.

Hi i have done this with the train:) I took the train from Sofia to Thessaloniki and its cheap =) Thats the best way for u !

Hi,

you can hire a car from bulgaria for 20-25 euros per day and drive to Greece. I am not sure wether you can leave the country with hired car, but you can ask in the car agency.

There are many companies that have regular buses to Greece, I checked tickets start from 40 to 90 euro (from Bulgaria to Greece to Bulgaria, one way ticket is on half price).

When you come to Bulgaria check with your friend possible charter flights to Greece, but this solution is more expensive.

Don't worry price of tickets in BUlgaria is not so high, most foregners find life here very affordable ans easy :)

Hope this helps,
