On site: ticket office, toilets and coffee shop. Since 2016, there is no passenger service to Thessaloniki, only freight trains.

POSTE-FRONTIÈRE DE BOGORODICA-EVZONI
Read moreThis is North Macedonia's busiest border crossing, between Bogorodica/Богородица and Evzoni/Ευζώνων, in Greece. Hundreds of trucks pass here every day to or from the major port of Thessaloniki. Controls have become stricter due to the large number of illegal migrants. As a result, customs officers can take up to 1 hour to check just fifteen vehicles. And then there's the ugly sight of Gevgelija's first casinos as soon as you cross the border.
