By Car
The National Road and the Egnatia Odos are the two main, recently built and well-constructed highways that you can follow to reach Central Macedonia by car.
The National Road (A1 Motorway) is part of the European route E75 and is the road axis for the passage from Athens or other southern regions of the country.
The Egnatia Odos (A2 Motorway) connects Central Macedonia east with Epirus, ending at the port of Igoumenitsa and west with Thrace, as far as the Greek-Turkish border. The vertical axes connect Central Macedonia with the Balkan countries and the rest of Europe.
