Book tickets directly from Rail Europe by calling (888) 382-RAIL or visiting their Web site (see Resources).
Put together an itinerary of the cities or attractions you want to see on your visit. Focus on the ones that are easily accessible by train, like the Acropolis in Athens or the Temple of Zeus in Olympia.
Consider the Eurail Drive Pass if you are going to rent a car once you get to Greece.
Book seat reservations with the Serbian Railways prior to traveling. Purchasing a ticket or rail pass does not guarantee you a seat on the train (an additional fee is required for reserved seating).
Compare prices of point-to-point tickets versus a rail pass, such as the Eurail Balkan Flexipass or Select Pass, once you have finished your itinerary. The rail pass is not always cheaper.
Determine how long you are going to stay in Greece. You could spend the weekend on one of the beautiful Mediterranean beaches or weeks viewing ancient ruins.
