Took train from Pireus to Patras. Cost is very cheap. You cant take intercity trains (faster) with a bike, but there is one at 9:20 AM, stops at smaller towns but has baggage car for bikes. Get ticket, then go to baggage area for ticket for bikes, self-load bikes onto baggage car, then go. There are seat numbers on tickets, but people seem to ignore. No smoking signs obeyed. About a 6 hour ride to Patras. Met a german who had cycled to Turkey, got an eye infection and had to return. Late at night we caught a ship to Trieste - a very nice, ocean liner type., with inside cabin and a little expensive. Arrives in Trieste after 2 nights and one day. Midnight departure a little late so you have to hang around Patras all night - not bad if you can go to the bars etc.
