Facilities

The station is still housed in the original 19th-century brick-built station building; however, the buildings are rundown and abandoned.[8] As of (2020) the station is unstaffed, with no staffed booking office or waiting rooms. There is no footbridge over the lines, though passengers can walk across the rails, it is, however, not wheelchair accessible. The station has no toilet facilities; as a result, the station is currently little more than an unstaffed halt.

Services

The station is served by around one train per day, to/from Alexandroupoli and Thessaloniki.[9]
