By regional coach
[edit]Interurban coaches ("KTEL" buses) are by far the most convenient way to travel around Greece, as well as for intra-regional travelling. There is frequent bus service from Athens Liossion Station to Karditsa, as well as from Thessaloniki bus terminal "Macedonia" to Karditsa.
By train
[edit]Trains (OSE[dead link]) connect Karditsa to other cities in Greece. Travelling with ordinary trains can be cheaper, although a little bit slower, whereas choosing a fancy faster Intercity train will cost the same amount of money, or even more than a KTEL bus.

Ihe impressive Municipal Market building is perhaps the only remaining building of the architectural style known as the "Modern Movement" based on the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It has a square floor plan and consists of four independent sections in a C shape, on which the metal frame of the roof rests. It functions as a cultural space (where exhibitions and presentations are held), entertainment, and also as a shopping cent.
