Public transport in Greece is primarily organized by buses and by trains.
Buses in Greece
Contrary to most countries in Europe, the most popular means of transport to travel to Greece is not the train but the bus.
The largest Greek cities (Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras) have a bus route to most locations around Greece, directly or via a connection.
There are also buses between Athens and some cities in the Balkans.

Trains in Greece
Although the most popular way to travel in Greece is by bus (Ktel), traveling by train can also be convenient. Fares for trains in Greece are also cheaper than bus tickets. The central train station in Athens is Larissis Station, while in Thessaloniki, the station is located on Monastiriou Avenue, about 15 min drive from Aristotle Square.
OSE, the Greek train organization, serves the Greek railway system. Over the last few years, a significant effort has been made to renovate the railway system and make Greece trains faster. The main railway routes in Greece are Athens-Thessaloniki, Athens-Patra (served by Proastiakos train till Kiato), Athens/Thessaloniki-Alexandroupoli (Dikaia), Athens/Thessaloniki-Florina and Athens/Thessaloniki-Kalambaka (Meteora). Note that on the route Athens-Thessaloniki, there is also an Intercity Train that covers the way in 4 hours, while the regular train needs about 6 hours.
Some thematical train routes will take you through some scenic lands to culturally significant places. Ask for stuff at the railway station or visit their OSE site.
