They Told Me Not To Travel by Train in Greece Because it's Too Dangerous

They told me not to travel by train in Greece — that it’s too dangerous. But I wanted to see for myself. This video takes you on a real journey from Athens to Thessaloniki by train — a quiet, slice-of-life look at what train travel in Greece is really like after the tragic Tempi train crash, which claimed 57 lives and left deep wounds across the country. As I travel north, I reflect on that tragedy, the people still seeking justice, and what it means to move forward. Along the way, I pass through Athenian neighbourhoods like Attiki and Sepolia, watch the changing Greek landscape, enjoy a few snacks on board, and observe what people do on long train rides — some sleep, some read, some simply stare out the window at Greece rolling by. When I finally arrive in Thessaloniki, I talk about how taxi drivers sometimes take multiple passengers to why Uber doesn’t exist in Greece and how locals use Freenow instead. It’s not a travel guide or a scripted vlog — just an honest look at Greece through a moving window. 🎥 Subscribe for more real-life travel stories from Greece and beyond. #Greece #GreekTrains #AthensToThessaloniki #TrainTravel #TravelVlog #TempiCrash #GreekVlog #TravelGreece #Thessaloniki #Athens #SliceOfLifeVlog
