Transportation

By train

There are several trains from Thessaloniki. Slow trains take 6h (9€), fast ICs take only 4 1/2 (16€)

By ferry

Ferries to Samothraki leave mostly twice a day - but irregularly. There is a fast one (1 h /17,7€) and a slow one also for cars (3h/8,8 for a singel person). Tickets have to be bought in a travel agency near the port.

Sleep

There are no Cheap Youthhostels, but a couple of mid-range hotels by the Seaside. Backpackers often just stay at the beach near the Trainstation.
