Pythion railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Πυθίου, romanizedSidirodromikós stathmós Pythíou) is a railway station and junction where the railway to Ormenio and Bulgaria branches off the main line from Thessaloniki to Istanbul through Alexandroupolis and Uzunköprü, that serves the village of Pythion, Evros in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Located southeast of the village of Pythion, it is unmanned,[4] however there are waiting rooms available, if in a dilapidated state.[4] The station is the final stop in Greece before crossing the border into Turkey.[5] There is another railway stop closer to the village, Στάση Πυθίου ("Pythion halt").
