Greece Transportation Profile 2012
Transportation. Few places in Greece lie more than 80 miles (130 km) from the sea, and shipping is a major form of transportation. Piraeus, part of greater Athens, is the leading port. The Corinth Canal links the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
The main line of the railway system runs from Athens to Thessaloníki and northward. Greece has good roads in most of its mainland coastal areas, particularly the Aegean coast. Elsewhere, there are relatively few good roads. The Greek national airline, Olympic Airways, provides domestic and international service.
