We were nearly two hours late arriving into Thessaloniki but otherwise the trip was safe and smooth with a pleasant driver and assistant.
There should be information in English because no one speaks English with all the stops and why

Full of kindness and hospitality...I have nothing I disliked
I didn’t enjoy that online ticket didn’t have peron number. I had to walk around the huge bus station with my stuff and ask people if thwy know where Alpar is. I liked the drivers and service staff at the station- all very smiling and kind.
Service was good, but no toilet on the bus was an issue. Wifi and USB chargers promised on the booking site also were not present
