Pamporovo to Sunny Greece via that new crossing

Hi all. I'm off to (rainy?) Pamps next week and want to drive to the Greek coast via the new border crossing. After a bit of sun for a change.

Does anyone have directions for the quickest route to the coast and any recommendations for Greek coastal resorts in that neck of the woods

Also has anyone driven this route, if so how did you find it

Thanks one and all.

Nooky Cool

To find the crossing is easy - unless the new road sighs have been nicked !!! Moey did it in March, with no problems. He went to Kavala and back in a day

I have been told that Kavala is nice, but haven't been yet, and also Xanti, and across to an island (forgotten the name !) All in all not a lot of help !!

Komotino looks nice and is where we are heading in July.

Will have to look into that one.
We have friends that go down to the Greek coast every summer, and a long list of recommendations !!! Have to say I have given the list a miss, cos I'd rather just go and explore ! Very Happy Booze

Hi there. The nearest island is 'Thassos'. We're heading there for a week in August. Driving from Pamporovo. Would love to hear how you get on Nooky.

Hi Julie
Thassos - thats the one. Friends went there last summer, and the pics look great - they had a fab time. Would love to hear what you think of it
