Train from Munich to Athens
Anyone tried this as opposed to flying? The German train website is difficult to figure out if you don't read/speak German. What's the bet way of doing this? If you know a website that is easier please post it. Also, wondering how the cost compares to flying. I read that EurRail was very expensive.
Thanks for your replies.

Can't find price on www.bahn.de, but schedule is there. 37-38 hours each way with 2 transfers. Are you still interested?

Aegean Airlines just added a Munich-Athens route to their list of options.

Yes, I knew about the Aegean schedule and that's probably what we will end up taking, although all their flights seem to have a stop. DBA has a flight that was really cheap but it's at 7:10 a.m. and that won't work if we are driving up from Garmish. I assume we need at least 2 hours for that drive, 2 hours at the airport before departure. Arrrgh, no way, we are on vacation. Not getting up at 2:00 a.m. to do that fire drill. We'll probably end up on the Aegean flight at 10:30ish a.m. That's bad enough.

Karen,
the German Rail website does indeed have a side in English. For schedules and fares, go to reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en.
For other information, like railpasses and Land tickets, go to bahn.de and select Intern. Guests.
The website has some really neat, secret stuff for those of us who understand German, but most of what you need is available in English.
