Car Rental in Athens Bus/Train Station

With 1 car rental company on site, it's a convenient option if you arrive by train from Thessaloniki or by bus from northern Greece. From here you quickly reach the motorway toward Corinth (85 km) or Delphi (180 km).

Larisis Station is Athens' railway hub and is surrounded by a lively area with hotels, restaurants and cafés along Deligiorgi Street. Right next to it lies Peloponnese Station, the historic starting point for trips to the Peloponnese. The surroundings are urban and traffic-intensive – plan extra time to find the rental company's office.
