Γ	Γεώργιος Δαυίδ Αποστολίδης on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Urban Exploring at its finest!
A	Alberto Cappelletti on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place, hopefully nobody will touch/remove/commercialize it.
M	Monika Grasso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spooky and awesome! Great place to explore and take pictures. This is where they lay to rest old train cars that are no longer in use. Most are heavily rusted, have plants growing on/through them.
c	curlz mt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place, super creepy but great to explore. If you are coming by bus from Thessaloniki get the bus 51, 54 or 54A from the train station and get off after about 15mins at the stop after crossingu the E9 highway. From there the walk is another 10/15mins.
C	Chris Stergiopoulos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best place in Thessaloniki for photoshooting between trains!
N	Nate Allen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Found the Greek railroads train graveyard... This is where good trains go to die ?⚰️ Thousands of rusting train cars have been slowly falling apart on the edge of Greece's second largest city Thessaloniki. These rusting and vandalized railroad cars seem stuck in a state of limbo. The Hellenic Railways Organisation (ΟΣΕ) Greece’s national rail company leaves their decommissioned trains in this ever growing cemetery on tracks, which now has thousands of these discarded cars. They have made attempts to sell them as scrap metal but still, since they were left here to rot in the 1980s, they are still standing here on the long forgotten set of about 9 tracks in the suburb of Nea Ionia. Apperently the new attempts to sell these decaying cars has not been helped by the history of shady business dealings and scrap smuggling surrounding this and many other similar sites across Greece. Meanwhile the train cars remain stuck here. Slowly returning back to nature rusting away while exposed to weather, & wind. Overgrown by grass and trees it looks a bit little sad, but like many deteriorating ghost trains, a little more beautiful with each passing year. I'm not going to lie... I fully expected at least one zombie (or hobo) to pop out and attack me while exploring these once glorious pieces of railed technology ?‍♂️??
P	Peter Bell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting place if you are into abandoned stuff. Unfortunately there are no locomotives just carriages and wagon, and they are all really well trashed. But it's a huge site and quite post apocalyptic as nature is taking back over.
M	Mateusz Janiszewski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Place definitely worth to see. You can get here by bus from the city centre (main bus station near train station). We checked bus number on RometoRio app or similar. Unfortunately there is no locomotive, but it's still unusual and magic please. Be careful because there is lot of thorny bushes, broken glass or nails on the ground.
