If you are traveling to Greece from North
America, you will probably arrive by air. However, this is not
the only way to visit Greece.

By Sea...
Many vacationers arrive in Greece on a cruise. Additionally, many come by ferry. As the cruise and ferry service is much too large to list here I will just provide you with some links where you can do a little research.

By Rail...
Although you can get to Greece by rail, I would rather suggest you arrive by ferry. You can take rail to the port in Italy and take the ferry from there. However, it is possible to take the train overland into Greece. But, you will have to travel quite a ways through Munich, Salzburg,
Ljubluana, and Zagreb and it will take you at least three days to do it that way.
