#### Greece

In 2022, Greece's first high\-speed train began operations between [Athens](/wiki/Athens "Athens") and [Thessaloniki](/wiki/Thessaloniki "Thessaloniki"). The 512 km (318 miles) route is covered in 3 to 4 hours with trains reaching speeds of up to 250 km/h (160 miles/h). The 180 km (112 mile) line from Athens to [Patras](/wiki/Patras "Patras") is also being upgraded to high speed with an expected completion by 2026\. The route between Athens and Thessaloniki was previously among the [busiest passenger air routes](/wiki/List_of_busiest_passenger_air_routes "List of busiest passenger air routes") in Europe.
