The cost of connecting, by rail, six ports in northern Greece and Bulgaria, the Sea2Sea initiative, has been budgeted at 3.7 billion euros, with most of the projects on Greek soil, including a new rail line connecting the port city of Thessaloniki with the border city of Xanthi, further to the east.

The project is scheduled to be presented to EU Commissioner Violeta Bulc over the coming period.
